The Tottenham Hotspur fans in the Transfer Tavern are toasting a certain Dele Alli after his late strike against West Bromwich Albion kept up their unbeaten start to the campaign.
Though a draw away against a Tony Pulis side can never be seen as a bad thing, the north London locals propping up the bar are somewhat disappointed after the manner of their win against Manchester City.
So, reports emanating out of Italy have only dampened the mood.
According to Calciomercatoweb, Serie A giants AC Milan are preparing a £22m move for Erik Lamela in an attempt to restore former glories to the San Siro.
The Rossoneri look like embarking upon an upward trajectory at long last after a period of fragility and were recently sold to a wealthy Chinese consortium.
Having previously played in Italy, the Argentine initially struggled after his hugely expensive move from Roma back in 2013.
He’s since proved himself as one of the club’s best players and the Italian titans are reportedly keen on luring him back to Serie A.
They are understood to view the 24-year-old as an ideal cog in a 4-3-3 formation, though top brass at White Hart Lane are said to want to avoid any sale.
Will Lamela develop into one of the best players in the world? Let us know below…
