Tottenham transfer news: Inter offer Jeison Murillo and Marcelo Brozovic for Spurs forward Erik Lamela

Lamela was better last season but hasn't lived up to his big billing since joining for a club record fee in 2013

Lamela may have dodged a bullet

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR have been offered two players in exchange for Erik Lamela, according to reports in Italy.

The Argentina midfielder has not had the impact he or Spurs fans would have liked following his club record £26million move to White Hart Lane from Roma in 2013.

Although he was much improved and an integral piece under Mauricio Pochettino last season, scoring 11 goals to break double figures for the first time, Lamela has still failed to live up to his big billing.

According to Italian newspaper Corrierre dello Sport, Inter are looking to offer Spurs PLUS two players to bring Lamela back to Serie A.

Inter have just been taken over by a group of Chinese investors keen to make a big splash in the market.

The club have not won the Italian league since Jose Mourinho won the treble in 2009-10.

The report claims that Inter will offer Colombian defender Jeison Murillo and Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic as well as cash for Lamela.

Spurs are said to want around £20million for the Argentinian.

Murillo has become a key part of the Inter side since joining from Granada last summer.

The Colombian centre-back played 34 matches last season and has been linked with Manchester United and Leicester City already this summer.

Brozovic spent last season on loan at the club and only signed a permanent deal at the start of June - but Inter are said to be willing to give him up if Lamela is available.

The Croatian scored seven goals in 30 matches last season.
