Inter Milan have reportedly identified Tottenham Hotspur's Erik Lamela as one of their top targets ahead of the summer transfer window.

Lamela joined Spurs in a club-record deal from Roma in August but he has found his opportunities limited under Tim Sherwood and previous head coach Andre Villas-Boas.

Inter could be prepared to bring the 21-year-old back to Italy and talks are believed to have already taken place between the club and Lamela's representatives, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The Argentine is reportedly eager to work with Inter manager Walter Mazzarri, who was rumoured to be keen on signing him on a temporary basis in January.

Lamela has made just nine appearances in the Premier League this season.
