​Tottenham star Lamela not thinking about River Plate return

Tottenham midfielder Erik Lamela is not concerned about a possible return to River Plate.

The Argentine winger has been in stunning form this season, scoring six goals and getting three assists in all competitions for his club.

While he loves River Plate, who are playing in the Copa Libertadores final against Boca Juniors, he is not thinking about a return right now.

"I don't know, in this moment I am thinking only Tottenham," he said to reporters after Spurs' win over Crystal Palace.

"Tottenham is the club that is giving me everything. Of course I love River but, it is not time to think about coming back.

"I think River are playing very good at the moment, without me. I am confident that they can win [against Boca], I hope they can show in another final that they have experience and I believe in the team."
