Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to react after an eight-second video emerged of Lucas Moura at Hotspur Way.
What’s the story?
Well, Tottenham posted the footage on their Instagram account earlier today, showing the Brazilian scoring a wonderful goal.
Lucas makes what appears to be Tanguy Ndombele look like a statue, before opening his body up and curling the ball past Joe Hart.
It was – apparently – the South American’s first day back in training at Hotspur Way according to one fan below.
If that is true, then what a way to impress Nuno Espírito Santo.
The 28-year-old endured a tough season under both José Mourinho and Ryan Mason in 2020/21.
Lucas scored just three goals in 30 Premier League appearances, as Harry Kane and Heung-min Son often stole the show – as did Gareth Bale.
Lucas could thrive under Nuno
At Wolves, Nuno often succeeded with diminutive forwards up top.
In Diogo Jota, Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence, Nuno had small attackers who worked well alongside a taller forward in Raul Jimenez.
With a similar presence up top in Harry Kane, it will be interesting to see if Nuno adopts a similar approach using Moura and Son.
It could certainly work – it might take some practice on the training ground.
We all know how well Kane and Son click together, so if Nuno can find a way to incorporate Lucas into that partnership, Tottenham could be set for a fun season.
For now, let’s see how the Tottenham fans on Twitter reacted to the Brazilian’s goal at Hotspur Way…
