And then there were two: After searching the transfer market for a striker it seems that the choice is down to either Fernando Torres or Erik Lamela, this according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The pursuit of Alvaro Morata and Edin Dzeko becomes harder by the day but there are other factors involved. Does Mazzarri want a box striker such as Torres or a second forward with the characteristics of Lamela? Much will depend on the mercato summit between Mazzarri and the club at the seasons end. Torres would need convincing on a move to Italy and Lamela’s wages could also prove problematic. Tottenham are not ready to give up on their large investment so they may welcome a loan to relaunch the young Argentines career before deciding whether to sell him or not.
