# Inter ‘agree deal’ for Lamela

**Inter Milan have agreed a deal in principle to take Erik Lamela on loan, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.**

[The Sky Italia journalist reports](https://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/eng/inter-contact-tottenham-for-lamela-the-situation/) that a £4.5m loan fee has been agreed, with an option to make the deal permanent for a further £10m.

Lamela is not the Serie A side’s first-choice target though, and it is thought they will only press on with a move for the Argentinian if efforts to land Wolfsburg’s Ivan Perisic come to nothing.

The former Roma man is still held in high regard in Italy – where he scored 21 goals in two seasons at Stadio Olimpico – despite flopping during his time at White Hart Lane.

Since arriving for £30m two years ago, he has scored just twice in 41 Premier League appearances – many of which came from the bench.

He made his first start of the season last weekend against Leicester City, but was withdrawn after an uninspiring 65 minutes.
