Report: Tottenham Hotspur's Erik Lamela close to Porto loan move

Tottenham Hotspur winger Erik Lamela is reportedly closing in on a move to Porto on a season-long loan.

The 23-year-old, who signed for Spurs from Roma in 2013 for a reported club-record £30m fee, has failed to make his mark at White Hart Lane.

While reports last month claimed that the North London outfit have no intention of selling the Argentine, it appears that a loan is an option.

According to Record, Porto are close to agreeing a deal with Spurs that would include a £5.3m option to buy Lamela at the end of the season.

Reports have claimed that Lamela wants to move elsewhere as he is unhappy in London.
