Tottenham Hotspur football star Erik Lamela has been banned from driving for six months after being caught speeding three times in a fortnight.
The Premier League player, 29, drove a Land Rover at eight miles per hour over the limit in north London last year, Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court heard on Wednesday.
Lamela, who earns £80,000 a week playing for Tottenham Hotspur, has racked up 15 penalty points on his licence, exceeding the DVLA’s 12-point limit.
On May 13 last year the midfield attacker, who also plays for Argentina, drove at 48 miles per hour on the A10 between Turkey Street and Hoe Lane in Enfield, which has a 40-mile per hour limit.
