Lucas Moura made his full debut for Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.
Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jermaine Jenas has described new signing Lucas Moura as a “real threat” on Twitter after the Brazilian made his full debut on Sunday afternoon.
The 25-year-old joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain in the January transfer window, but has been made to wait for his Spurs bow by manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Coming on as a late sub in the 2-2 draw against Juventus, Moura was finally afforded his full debut by Pochettino against League One side Rochdale in the fifth round of the FA Cup and marked his first start with a goal.
Jenas was excited about the Brazil international and posted an upbeat message on his Twitter account, despite the north Londoners’ inability to knock Rochdale out of the cup with the scoreline reading 2-2 after 90 minutes.
Rochdale took the lead just before half-time through Ian Henderson, but Moura equalised for Spurs in the second half as he kept his composure to score when put through on goal.
Harry Kane put Spurs 2-1 up from the penalty spot, only for the magic of the FA Cup to strike as Steve Davies lashed home an effort from eight yards in injury time to earn a replay at Wembley.
Despite facing competition from the likes of Son Heung-Min, Erik Lamela and Moussa Sissoko, Moura will have done his first-team chances no harm and could be in line to retain his place in the side against Crystal Palace next Sunday.
