Tottenham Hotspur winger Erik Lamela has insisted that his focus is only on the north London outfit and indicated that he is not interested in a move back to Italy at the moment.
Spurs paid a princely sum of £30m to Roma in the summer of 2013 to take the Argentine to north London, and after struggling in his initial years at White Hart Lane, Lamela is finally coming good under Mauricio Pochettino this season.
The winger was a revelation for Roma during his time in Italy, and with him struggling at Tottenham initially, there were rumours the 23-year-old was keen to return to Italy to revive his career.
There was speculation that a few of the top Serie A sides were keen to sign him, but Lamela insisted that he doesn’t understand the source of the rumours as he is happy at Tottenham.
The Spurs winger told Sky Italia when asked about a possible return to Italy: “I have heard many rumours, but I don’t know why.

“I am only thinking about Tottenham and I am happy in London.
“[But] I don’t know what will happen in the future.”
Lamela has eight goals and five assists to his name this season in all competitions and has a contract until 2018 with Spurs.
