Tottenham Hotspur are looking at a way to sign Krzysztof Piatek from AC Milan, and Erik Lamela has been touted as a player they could swap.

Tottenham Hotspur fans definitely don’t want to see Erik Lamela leave, after rumours that he could be used in a swap deal.

The Times claim that Lamela may be offered to AC Milan in a potential deal to bring Krzysztof Piatek to Spurs.

Tottenham fans are generally behind the idea of Piatek joining them, as they need a striker.

But there are very few fans at the North London club who want to see Lamela depart in exchange.

Lamela has been used fairly regularly since returning to fitness by Jose Mourinho, so it would be a surprise to see him go.

There is an expectation that Lamela could thrive under Mourinho, as he is so defensively disciplined and aggressive.

Lamela is still working his way back to full match sharpness, after coming back from injury only fairly recently.

The Argentine could feature in Tottenham’s next game which comes against Manchester City at the weekend, if he does stick around.
