#9 Erik Lamela
Nicknamed Coco, the young winger was supposedly brought in by Tottenham Hotspur following the impending departure of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid. He made a £30m move to London, eclipsing the club record in the process. His exceptional pace and dribbling abilities were an attribute, which saw him being pursued by then manager Andre Villas-Boas.
However, he never set the ball rolling with Spurs after an excellent season with Roma a year before. He was also plagued with multiple injuries, which forced him out of playing eleven on several occasions in his debut season. Lamela improved immensely under new boss Mauricio Pochettino the year after, but goals and assists were still few and far in between.
Pundits sighted his unsuccessful attempts to dribble across defenders than to pick a simple pass a reason for his failure. At just 23, he is still pretty young, but needs proper grooming and a long run in the team to really prove his worth. Talks of a loan deal with Internazionale hover around London, which really would not be a bad idea to help the Argentine discover his former self.
