Former Tottenham player Erik Lamela is the current joint top goalscorer in La Liga after three games.
The 29-year-old left the North London club recently, in a swap deal with Bryan Gil and seems to have had a good start in Spain.
Lamela often had mixed reactions from Spurs fans. Some loved his commitment on the pitch, with him scoring some memorable goals and always fighting to win the ball back even if it did sometimes result in him getting booked.
Others didn't like his risk taking nature and his persistent injuries often meant he didn't have the impact on the pitch that many would've hoped.
The Argentine, known at Spurs as 'Coco', scored 17 goals in his 177 Premier League appearances for the club and many would've expected more from the attacking midfielder.
Since his move to Spain this summer he has already scored three goals for his new club, making him La Liga's joint-top goalscorer along with three other players.
Lamela's move was part of a swap deal with 20-year-old, Bryan Gil, who was welcomed to North London to replace him.
The young prospect has made a positive start to his Tottenham career, with a solid performance in their Europa Conference league play-off, second leg fixture against Pacos de Ferreira on Thursday night.
The Spanish midfielder got his first assist for the club on Thursday and showed his high tempo state of play which head coach, Nuno Espirito Santo praised.
"He was full of energy and this is what we wanted, reaction to loss of the ball, talent," he said.
The Portuguese head coach did also highlight that there is still room for improvement for Gil, both on and off the pitch.
"He is is a player who needs to improve in his decision-making but we are here to support him.
"One of the aspects that maybe you don’t realise so much is language cannot be a barrier.
"He must improve his English and he is willing to. He is willing to and it is the best thing that we have is that he is smart, he wants to improve and he wants to be helpful."
Despite the room for improvement, when Gil is featured in a Tottenham team, whether in the starting XI or coming on as a sub, he has received loud cheers and applause from Spurs fans who are already warming to him.
That positive reception from he Spurs faithful, along with the potential seen by Espirito Santo, must give the young talent determination to be a successful part of the Tottenham first team.
He will want to get some more match minutes under him and have an impact on the games he features in, to ensure that Spurs end up with the better end of the deal in the long run.
Lamela may have had a good first few games for his new club but if Gil can grow and continue to build on the quality Spurs have already seen a glimpse of, then he could become a key player in the Tottenham team.
