Premier League: 10 Shocking Transfers That Could Happen In January

5. Erik Lamela To Inter Milan

Erik Lamela has flopped badly since his summer switch to Spurs last year. When the midfielder arrived at White Hart Lane off the back of Gareth Bale's departure to Real Madrid, it was hoped he would fill the void left by the Welshman, yet he has scored just once in 17 games. There are also claims the Argentinian is failing to adapt to life in England and is struggling with the language barrier, and a loan move to Inter Milan could be incoming. Why would it be shocking? Lamela was a club-record buy when he arrived at White Hart Lane from AS Roma for £30 million last summer. It would be hugely surprising to see him farmed out so soon.
