Argentine midfielder Seville Erik Lamela said this Friday, before facing the English side Tottenham tomorrow in Suwon (South Korea), that he left “many friends at Spurs”, where he played for eight years, and that the match against the Italian Antonio Conte “it will be very special” for him.
Lamela arrived last season at Sevilla in the transfer operation Bryan Gil al Tottenham and, at a press conference at the Korean concentration of his team, he pointed out “after so many years it will be a special game” in which he will “meet many former teammates and many friends there”.

“It will be special for me and also for (Heung-Min) Son (Korean Spurs player), with whom I have been speaking these days and tomorrow I hope to see him and give him a hug. What can I say about him. Every year he shows that he is an incredible player, who has been growing and improving his game to be more and more forceful. It does not surprise me that he was the top scorer in the Premier League“, said.
Already recovered from the shoulder injury he suffered last season, Lamela indicated that this year he hopes to “have the continuity” that he lacked in the previous one and for that he is “working hard every day”.
