The Argentina international arrived at White Hart Lane in the summer of 2013 from Roma for a Tottenham record £30million fee.
He initially struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League but has established himself as a first-team regular under compatriot Mauricio Pochettino.

The 24-year-old was key in helping Spurs qualify for the Champions League and has so far scored two goals and provided seven assists across all competitions this term.
And Lamela wants to follow the likes of Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Kyle Walker in committing his future to the north London club.
"I would like to [sign a new deal] because I am very happy here," he told the Evening Standard.
"I feel part of this team which is improving. I have a group of excellent team-mates and I feel very good around them.
"It would make me happy to play for more years in this shirt. Will I be the next to sign? Let's hope so. At the moment I am thinking only of playing and about Saturday's game against Leicester."
