Tottenham Hotspur's Erik Lamela could be poised for a return to Serie A after three Italian clubs reportedly signalled their intent to sign the Argentine in January.

Lamela has struggled to settle in London, but The People claims that former club Roma, Juventus and Inter Milan are all considering bids for the player.

All three clubs are thought to prefer a loan deal for the 22-year-old. However, Juve and Roma may be willing to consider permanent bids if the price is right.

This would mean Spurs taking a substantial loss on the £30m that they paid Roma in the summer of 2013, with his value now understood to have dropped to £14m.
