6 Reasons Erik Lamela Will Succeed At Spurs This Season

2. An Understanding With Roberto Soldado

In pre-season, one of the most positive things to come out of Spurs' matches so far is the fact that Erik Lamela and Roberto Soldado appear to have clicked. Not only is this just generally great news for Spurs and their fans, it's also wonderful on a personal level for the pair, because they were in the same boat last season - both having been the subject of huge transfers and both failing to deliver. Therefore, the fact that it would appear that they are helping each other out on the pitch is brilliant. Not only that, but they also appear to be very friendly off the pitch - joining each other for meals and social time, which can only aid their potential on-field partnership in the Premier League. Lamela and Soldado firing on all cylinders could be fantastic for Spurs - bearing in mind they still managed a sixth place finish in the Premier League with both of them drastically off form.
