# Lamela’s agent refutes transfer reports

Erik Lamela’s agent has said that Tottenham have no intentions of selling the player, following reports of an impending move to Porto.

Portugese media claimed on Monday that the 23-year-old – who arrived at White Hart Lane for £25m from Roma – was on the verge of signing for Julen Lopetegui’s side on loan.

Furthermore, there was suggestion that the deal included a clause which would allow the Portugese team to sign the Argentinian for as little as £5m next summer.

But the player’s agent – Pablo Sabbag – has since spoken to national newspaper O Jogo to quash the claims.

“There is no intention to transfer Erik,” he said in a brief statement.

Such news will be a relief to Spurs fans, who hope to see the player’s form improve after a dissapointing start to his North London career.

Since arriving in 2013, Lamela has made just 38 Premier League appearances and scored only two goals.
