3. A Promising Pre-Season
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8339ZO52G8 Erik Lamela has looked better in his brief pre-season appearances this year than he did in every single appearance he made last season put together. He's looked lively and extremely useful and this was capped off with a two-goal first half haul against Ryan Nelsen and Jermain Defoe's Toronto F.C. on Spurs' United States tour. His running was fantastic, his build-up play was great and his finishing was nothing short of spectacular. Going in to a season on this kind of form can only be filling him with confidence - and a confident, on-form Erik Lamela is a dangerous Erik Lamela. Be warned, Premier League.
