Tottenham transfers: Erik Lamela up for grabs - with FOUR more flops from £100m spree
Erik Lamela is the fifth player signed in Tottenham's £100million spree two years ago heading for the exit door.
The north Londoners DO want to offload the 23-year-old this summer and are in talks with at least one Italian club, understood to be Juventus, over a deal.
Mirror Sport revealed last week that the club had opened talks with Galatasaray over a move for £26million ex-Valencia striker Roberto Soldado.
Lamela, Tottenham's record signing at £30million, failed to settle in his first season and showed only flashes of the form that led Spurs to land him from Roma.
The Argentine has insisted he wants to stay at White Hart Lane to fulfil his potential but Spurs are willing to part company with him if a deal can be done.
Flops: Most of Spurs' 2013 signings can go
Of players bought in the summer that Gareth Bale quit the club for Real Madrid, only Christian Eriksen and Nacer Chadli have a future.
Watford want to take midfielder Etienne Capoue, who cost Tottenham £8.6million from Toulouse.
Swiss side Basel are hoping to take defender Vlad Chiriches, who has flopped since arriving from Steaua Bucharest.
And Brazilian midfielder Paulinho, a £17million signing from Corinthians, is heading to Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande with a £10million fee agreed.
Out of favour: Mauricio Pochettino will ship out Paulinho
Spurs are determined to cut their losses on their dead wood with boss Mauricio Pochettino keen to clear the decks to bring in his own players.
Watford are also keen on French midfielder Benjamin Stambouli, who arrived in north London just a year ago.
Younes Kaboul, Emmanuel Adebayor and Aaron Lennon are also out of Pochettino's plans and set to depart.
