Tottenham Hotspur snapped up Lucas Moura on transfer deadline day.
Tottenham Hotspur new boy Lucas Moura has told the club’s official website that he has never seen anything like the club’s training facilities.
Spurs enjoyed a superb Wednesday night, beating Manchester United 2-0 at Wembley Stadium thanks to Christian Eriksen’s early opener and Phil Jones’ own goal.
Mauricio Pochettino will have been pleased to close the gap to United, and he also had a new signing to celebrate on the final day of the transfer window.
Winger Lucas Moura joined Spurs from Paris St. Germain on deadline day, and was paraded to the Tottenham fans at half time against United, as he prepares to start his career under Pochettino.
The Brazilian has endured a frustrating season to date, as he hadn’t started a single league or Champions League game for PSG this term, and now heads to London to try and play first-team football.
Whilst Moura will be delighted to have reunited with his former PSG teammate Serge Aurier, he also appears to be excited about Tottenham’s facilities.
Speaking to Tottenham’s official website after completing his move, Moura admitted that he has never seen a training centre like Tottenham’s, labelling it ‘amazing’, whilst adding that it’s a pleasure for him to play for Spurs.
“It’s amazing, I’ve never seen a training centre like this,” said Moura. “The new stadium as well – I’m so excited. Everything is perfect. I’m sure we will do big things together.”
“Here, it’s a new challenge and as I said, a new chapter in my life. I will have the opportunity to play, to show my talent and my quality and it’s also a big Club, a big structure, a lot of fans and the history of the Club is also very interesting. It’s a pleasure for me to play for Tottenham,” he added.
