"?Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Erik Lamela is demanding that his current £60k-a-week deal at White Hart Lane is doubled before he commits his future to Mauricio Pochettino's side, "?report the Mirror.
The Argentine is the latest Spurs player the club have attempted to tie down to long-term extensions in recent weeks, however Lamela is after a huge new deal worth £120k-a-week in order to prolong his three-year tenure in north London.
With Harry Kane on £100k-a-week, if Lamela's demands are to be met, it would see him become the club's highest earner ever.
Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen have put pen to paper earlier this season, whilst it is also believed that Kyle Walker has signed along the dotted line.

However, negotiations with the 24-year-old and his representatives are yet to be agreed, despite the player being a regular in Pochettino's side, and one who has won the hearts of the White Hart Lane faithful in the past couple of seasons after an underwhelming first year in England.
Lamela joined the club from AS Roma in 2013 alongside Eriksen as one of a number of new players added to the playing staff following the world record departure of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid.
At a club record fee of £30m that still remains alongside Moussa Sissoko's recent price tag, Lamela is hoping to agree new terms on his current contract that still has three years left to run.
Scorer of the club's first league goal of the season away at Everton, the midfielder wants to remain in north London until 2022 whilst receiving double the salary he has since his arrival.
Lamela's demands come just days after manager "?Pochettino aimed fire at the club's fiercest rivals by insisting that Spurs players are at White Hart Lane for a love of the game and not the potential financial rewards.
