Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have tipped winger Erik Lamela to make the move to AS Roma, after the Italian side announced Jose Mourinho as their new manager for the 2021/2022 season.

In a tweet from their official Twitter account, the Serie A outfit announced the Portuguese manager would take over from Paulo Fonseca, after it was confirmed a few hours earlier that he’d been leaving at the end of the campaign.

Lamela seemed to be one of the favourites under Mourinho during the former Chelsea man’s time with the north London outfit. Out of the 58-year-old’s 84 games at the helm, the Argentine figured in across all competitions, scoring five goals and assisting a further three.

Reports have already claimed the 29-year-0ld will leave Spurs in the summer and, with Mourinho managing his former club, there could be an extra incentive for Lamela to make the move back to Rome.
