Tottenham legend Chris Waddle is confident Erik Lamela will prove his quality.
Lamela has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League since joining from Serie A outfit Roma earlier this summer.
Waddle told the London Evening Standard: "I think he has had problems adapting to the language, culture and speed of the game over here. You can see he has a lot of ability and he's still only young. I don't think he realises how fast the game is in comparison to when he was in Italy, and he needs to adjust. But he has a great left foot and has bags of ability so he should be fine.
"It took me three months to get used to life in Marseille and it was really tough. It can get you down and it's very hard being away from home - there's a lot more to it than just playing football on a Saturday afternoon."
