1 Erik Lamela in action for Tottenham

Juventus have offered Tottenham the chance to offload winger Erik Lamela this summer, according to reports in Italy.

The Italian champions have already set to work on strengthening their squad for next season and boss Massimiliano Allegri is confident he can convince the 23-year-old to return to Serie A, where he previously played with Roma.

According to Italian news outlet Calcio Mercato, Old Lady sporting director Fabio Paratici has been in London this week and met with Lamela’s representatives.

Despite struggling to settle in north London during his first season at the club, Lamela was a regular in Mauricio Pochettino’s team last term, scoring five goals in 46 appearances.

Spurs are reportedly keen to keep the attacker at White Hart Lane but could be convinced to cash in if the club recoup most of the £30m which was spent to land him in August 2013.

The Argentine has emerged as Juve’s top summer target after the Turin club failed to convince Chelsea to part company with talented Brazilian Oscar.
