Erik Lamela 'happy' at Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur forward Erik Lamela has insisted that he has no intention of leaving the club.

The Argentine was linked with a move elsewhere over the summer, but he is adamant that he is now settled at White Hart Lane.

"Ever since I got here, people have spoken about me leaving," Lamela told the Evening Standard. "They said it the first year, the second year and now in the third.

"But I didn't speak because there was nothing to say. My mind has always been here at Tottenham. Would I have moved to Marseille, Inter, back to Roma? No - I have always wanted to stay here and I have always made that clear.

"It's something I've said to my teammates, to the club, to everyone. I feel good here, I like it. I am very happy. I feel I've adapted and my teammates make me feel at home."

Lamela is Spurs' record signing, having cost the club £30m when they recruited him from Roma.
