Spurs star’s brother is back home and ‘good’ despite kidnapping in Argentina.
Brian Lamela, brother of Tottenham’s £30m summer signing Erik, has confirmed their teenage brother Axel was kidanpped in Buenos Aires but has now returned home.
Local reports in Buenos Aires on Friday claimed Axel Lamela, 18, was kidnapped by armed men but released shortly afterwards when his family agreed to pay a ransom of 5,000 pesos – which is only around £550.
It is understood the kidnappers were not aware of Axel’s illustrious connections but were simply ‘attracted’ by his BMW.
Brian confirmed on twitter that Axel was now back at home after the incident and said everything was ‘good’:
