Sevilla has organized this Tuesday the official presentation of Erik Lamela who a few days ago became the second signing of the Nervión club for the 2021-2022 season. The Argentine winger signed for three seasons from Tottenham as part of the operation that sealed the departure of Bryan Gil to the Spurs.
His arrival at Sevilla: “I have already spoken with the coach. I have come to do my best and to contribute the best of myself to the team. What seduced me the most was the club. I come to give my thing to a club and a city that they have spoken to me about a lot. Good. La Liga? We’re going to start and go game by game, we have a good squad and hopefully we will fight. “
His first days at the club: “I am feeling very comfortable because they received me much better than I expected, both the teammates and the club staff.”
References about Sevilla: “I am aware that I come to a club with a lot of competitiveness, but for that I will give my best. I am in a very mature stage, physically well and I know that I will arrive well at the beginning of the season. They told me that It was an incredible city, a very serious club and I knew it because I have followed it in recent years. It is a historically very Argentine club and it is a wish to be here. “
What seduced you from Sevilla ?: “What most seduced me is the club, which always fights and wins titles. They spoke to me very well about the club and the city. Hopefully we can fight LaLiga, there is a great squad and the goal is to go match by match. We want to fight in all competitions “
Experience in Spain: “It was a place I wanted to get to. It is nice to come to Spanish football. When the possibility arose, I was very excited and we hope the year is very good. The adaptation will be seen over time and the coach will have to see it” .
Meet the fans: “We still don’t know how many people will come to the stadium, it would be good if it could be full. The decision is not up to us but we would like the field to be full.”
Back to the Selection?: “I am wanting to do well at Sevilla, if that makes me return to Argentina then welcome, but my head is in Seville and we want to do things well.”
