Lucas Moura has been brilliant for Tottenham Hotspur this season.

Darren Bent suggested on The Final Word show on talkSPORT on Sunday evening (8:25pm, May 12, 2019) that Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura has surprised him.

The former Tottenham striker has admitted that he has been taken aback by Moura’s finishing this season.

According to WhoScored, the Brazil international winger made 25 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs this season, scoring 10 goals in the process.

The former Paris Saint-Germain star has made eight starts and three substitute appearances in the Champions League for Tottenham this campaign, scoring five goals in the process, according to WhoScored.

Bent said about Moura on The Final Word show on talkSPORT on Sunday evening (8:25pm, May 12, 2019): “I watched him before at PSG, and I knew obviously he is rapid, he is really really quick.

“But I always felt that he would get into an area where he could score and his finishing wasn’t as crisp as it could be, but this season he has really really surprised me with his finishing.”

During the 2016-17 season, Moura made 29 starts and eight substitute appearances in Ligue 1 for PSG, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Back in 2015-16, the Brazilian made 26 starts and 10 substitute appearances in the league for PSG, scoring nine goals and providing four assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
