      Erika Lamela (River Plate)
      Mar 23, 2011 03:31:12 pm
      Argentina's latest prodigy Erik Lamela is being targeted by Liverpool and Tottenham after Barcelona expressed renewed interest in signing the River Plate attacking midfielder.

      Lamela could follow the path of fellow countryman Javier Mascherano, who played for Liverpool before moving on to Barcelona.

      The 19-year has already been approached by the Catalan giants who reportedly offered his family £80,000-a-year to move to Spain when Lamela was just 12-years old.

      A product of River Plates famed youth academy, Lamela has emerged as one of the world's hottest South American prospects which is why both Liverpool and Spurs are interested.

      The youngster can play in a variety of roles and his flexibility at playing in-behind strikers or on the wing would have been duly noted by scouts looking to exploit his talents.

      A dead-ball specialist with an accurate left-foot, Lamela would offer both Kenny Dalglish and Harry Redknapp a package that could be finely tuned.

      River Plate won't part with Lamela easily though, and have placed a price-tag of around £15million on him.

      A pretty solid player, 15M is a bit much for him though.
      Who would have though that Spurs were after him as-well?:)

      Spurs' scouting team is immense, they see who we are after then go after the same player :). I agree i wouldn't spend £15m on him, knowing our luck he will sign for Barcelona and become of the best players in the world but right at this moment in time we need to be signing proven players to improve our squad/starting 11.

      Never seen him play, but a player I have heard rave reviews about in the past.

      I am in no position to pass judgement other than to say perhaps we need more proven players, though of course it would be nice to sign stars of the future, - just not @ £15M.

      Yeah, they offered his family a house and 220,000£ a year.

      Sounds pretty dodgy to me that, but I suppose it happens in football alot with these young players.
