Tottenham Hotspur sign Roma midfielder Erik Lamela Lamela arrived in London on Wednesday night, but Tottenham would not comment on the player's potential signing for fear that another club may snatch the midfielder from under their noses with an 11th hour bid. Tottenham have now spent approximately £92.8m in this transfer window following the signings of Lamela, Chiriches, Roberto Soldado, Paulinho, Etienne Capoue and Nacer Chadli. Spurs are also close to signing midfielder Christian Eriksen from Ajax. Should the deal for the Dane go through, it is likely to pave the way for Gareth Bale to complete his world-record move to Real Madrid.
