Fans of Tottenham Hotspur have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relayed Alasdair Gold’s claim that Spurs are open to offers for Erik Lamela this summer.

So far this season, Lamela has found regular game time hard to come by under Jose Mourinho, with the winger starting just five Premier League games for Spurs, making a further 15 appearances from the bench.

Spurs have had quite a few odd players over the years, but can you remember them? Here is the first one, who is this former Tottenham man?

Over these 20 fixtures, the 29-year-old has scored one goal and averaged a rather disappointing WhoScored match rating of 6.4/10 – ranking him as Tottenham’s fifth-worst performer in the top flight.

And with recent reports from Italy claiming that a number of Serie A sides, including AC Milan and Napoli, are interested in a move for the Argentine this summer, Gold recently revealed that Mourinho is willing to listen to offers for Lamela at the end of the season in order to raise funds for Tottenham’s summer transfer targets.

After The Spurs Web relayed then Gold’s claim on Twitter, fans of Tottenham Hotspur flocked to have their say on the matter, with many appearing to be delighted at the prospect of the winger leaving north London at the end of the season.

Should Spurs sell Lamela this summer?

So, what exactly did these Tottenham Hotspur fans have to say in reaction to Alasdair Gold’s claim regarding Erik Lamela?

“Good, he’s a sub player at best and is always injured. Finally acting a bit like a big club.”

@josh_wiggan

“Brilliant that will buy us a bag of crisps and a Mars bar.”

@mrcorney

“Finally.”

@N17_COYS

“Finally some good news.”

@1BobbyBusiness

“GETTT INNNNNNNNNNN.”

@ShehryarThfc

“Finally he needs to go.”

@ODT413

All in all, it would seem as if these Tottenham fans would be more than happy for their club to sell Lamela this summer, and considering just how poorly the 29-year-old has performed this season, it is not difficult to understand why.
