Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura is determined for the club to progress to the Champions League final.
Tottenham Hotspur attacker Lucas Moura has issued a defiant statement ahead of the team’s Champions League semi-final.
Spurs take on Ajax tonight in the first leg and are looking to make use of their home advantage.
Tottenham have had poor luck with injuries, now missing both Harry Kane and Harry Winks, while Heung Min Son is suspended.
Lucas told Tottenham’s official website that he is not ready for the team to bow out.
He said: “We’re not finished. Now is not enough. We want to go to the final and try to win this competition.
“We know that’s difficult but we are going to work for it.”
The semi-finals is further than Lucas got in all his years with Paris Saint-Germain.
He added: “When I was a child, I had in my head to play in the Champions League and to win the Champions League. Now I can play in the semi-final.”
Tottenham’s success has helped justify Lucas’ £25 million switch to the club last year.
He could be selected up front this evening, having enjoyed some success in the role recently.
A goal in such an important game will start to make the fee Tottenham paid for him look like an instant bargain.
