Tottenham Hotspur put Argentine Erik Lamela on their list of targets as PSG step up interest in Andre Villas-Boas However, Paris St-Germain are increasingly confident that they can persuade Villas-Boas to become their next head coach, succeeding Carlo Ancelotti who is taking over at Real Madrid. It is unclear whether Villas-Boas, who has been on holiday, is tempted but PSG's interest is rising. Spurs" interest in 21-year-old Lamela predates Baldini's expected appointment with Villas‑Boas also an admirer of the forward who has so far earned only one senior cap for Argentina. Lamela also fits the mould of the kind of versatile forward that Villas-Boas likes, given he can play on the wing or through the middle. He scored 15 times for Roma last season in 33 appearances. Lamela is known for his pace and dribbling ability and Villas-Boas regards him as a possible complement to Gareth Bale in a fluid forward line as the head coach eventually switches to a 4-3-3 formation. It is unclear as to what level of fee Roma would demand for Lamela, if they agree to sell him, having paid €12 million (£10.2 million) to acquire him from Argentinian club River Plate. Lamela has been linked to both Manchester clubs but no bid has, so far, been submitted. Roma would probably hope to double their money although it remains to be seen whether Spurs would make a bid of that scale for Lamela given their continued interest in Barcelona's David Villa. Talks are ongoing over signing the 31-year-old Spain international, who is keen to move to White Hart Lane, although Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy could be reluctant to pay a fee of around £8 million. Spurs also remain interested in another Brazil international, Atletico Mineiro forward Bernard, but are yet to make an offer for the 20-year-old.
