Tottenham winger Lamela feels settled in English football

Tottenham winger Erik Lamela feels he's now used to the demands of Premier League football.

He will probably have a role to play in Wednesday Capital One Cup semi-final at Sheffield United, which Spurs approach holding a 1-0 lead from the first leg.

"I lost a bit of physical condition during the time I was out injured but the 90 minutes against Leicester helped me a lot and in these coming days I expect to be back at peak level," Lamela told the London Evening Standard.

"I think I'm getting used to English football and I think I have improved a lot, but I can still give a lot more. I can score many more goals, too, because I'm not doing that as much as I did earlier in my career.

"I'm starting to show something of what I can do. I'm training very hard to reach that level and I'm working hard to achieve that every day. I'm very happy playing wide on the right of the attack, which I feel is my best position."
