6 Reasons Erik Lamela Will Succeed At Spurs This Season

4. A Fellow Argentinian Manager

One thing that must have been an enormous positive for Erik Lamela in these last couple of months is the appointment of a fellow Argentinian as Spurs' new manager. Not only does this give him someone to talk to in his native language and a general taste of home, it also means that the person players are expected to go to with their problems can talk to Lamela about any such issues openly and easily. The fact that Mauricio Pochettino is also relatively young for a manager means that he will also be able to relate to Lamela more than most managers of a certain age. You can't help thinking that Pochettino's appointment may actually have been made with nurturing Lamela in mind. Daniel Levy knows his £30 million man could be a hugely important player if he's at his best and having a fellow countryman to look up to can only be good for him.
