Teammates 2.0 - Lamela

Erik Lamela has enjoyed a great career so far, playing for the likes of River Plate, Roma, Tottenahm Hotspur and Argentina since making his debut a decade ago.

And the forward has plenty of stories to tell about the players he's played with - so ahead of the second leg of Spurs' Carabao Cup semi-final with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night, Soccer AM sat him down to hear his Teammates 2.0.

Live Carabao Cup

Read on to find out who in the Tottenham dressing room is the best dancer, the biggest diva and the kitman's worst nightmare...

Best Player

We have too many at Spurs, but I go for Mousa Dembele [now at Guangzhou R&F] because he is unbelievable. In one v one, he is amazing and watching training, you realise how good he is. It is ridiculous. And now he has left, it is easy for me to pick him!

Biggest Diva

Difficult question, but I go for Harry Winks! He always looks so clean the way he dresses when he comes to training, everything so perfect.

Who practices goal celebs the most

Dele [Alli], [Heung-Min] Son because they are doing these handshakes all the time!

Prankster

We have too many. I am one of them, I like to enjoy training every day. We have a very good team and group, so it is nice to enjoy it!

Dressing Room DJ

Before the game, normally Harry [Kane] puts on the music, it is like a playlist we have. I think we should change as it is getting old! Sometimes, it is always the same, but it is good as it is like something we normally do before the game to feel good.

Kitman's worst nightmare

Me, because I always like to change the shirt and swap with the other teams!

Best Dancer

Serge [Aurier] - he loves the music, he is funny and it is nice to see him happy! Maybe also Dele as well and Kyle Walker-Peters.

Worst Dancer

Maybe the goalkeepers! I think Paulo [Gazzaniga] is not very good at dancing! Hugo [Lloris], I've never seen him dancing and Michel [Vorm] as well! I say Paulo as normally in Argentina we like to dance and we love music too, but Paulo is different.

Worst-dressed player

I'm going for Fernando Llorente - maybe it is me, but we have different styles. Maybe it is good, but I do not like!

Best Singer

Maybe Davinson Sanchez and he likes to dance as well and he can also be a good singer!

Who packs the most for away days

Michel Vorm because he is always with a computer as he likes to watch series and movies, so he always brings a big bag. Normally he goes in his place and just watches a movie and is very quiet.

Hard man

Eric Dier, Moussa Sissoko.
