Lamela would love to bring Cup glory to Tottenham

Erik Lamela is desperate to bring silverware to Tottenham.

Lamela's last competitive game for Roma was the final of the Coppa Italia - Italy's equivalent of the FA Cup - in which Lamela's team were beaten 1-0 by their city rivals Lazio in May 2013.

The only way for Lamela to bury that memory is to reach Wembley with Spurs this week and then help them to victory in the final on March 1.

"To win a trophy here is what I want the most," he told the London Evening Standard. "To win a cup is everything I hope for. It's a shame we were knocked out of the FA Cup and it was a result that disappointed everyone, because some great teams were eliminated and we had the chance to go further.

"But we're still in other competitions and we can fight all the way to the end in those. We can compete with any team we face."
