Lamela hoping injuries are behind him after signing Tottenham extension

Erik Lamela is hoping his new Tottenham contract brings a change in fortune after his troubles with injury.

The Argentina international missed most of the 2016-17 Premier League season with a hip injury, but battled back to feature 25 times last term.

Lamela penned a contract extension until 2022 on Friday and he wants to have a big impact for Spurs as they look to challenge for major honours once again.

"It's difficult to be injured, especially for a long time, but I never gave up. Everything is in the past now," he told the club's official website.
