The paperwork is expected to be signed, sealed and delivered soon, with both players needing to agree personal terms with their new clubs. Many Sevilla fans were sad to see such a talented prospect leave and expressed their discontent on social media.

Lamela, nine years older, joined Tottenham back in 2013 and has served the club well. Born in Buenos Aires, he broke through at River Plate before heading to Europe with Roma in 2011. He’s thought to fit into Julen Lopetegui’s system better than Gil.
