Tottenham ace Lucas Moura spoke to reporters after his side’s hard-fought 3-2 win away at Wolves on Saturday, and offered high words of praise for his teammate Erik Lamela, suggesting that it is a pleasure to play with the Argentine, as quoted by the club’s official website.

Spurs have made their best ever start to a Premier League season, having taken 24 points from their first 11 league outings, and they currently sit in fourth spot in the table.

Lamela has been like a new signing for Tottenham this season, after being plagued by injuries over the past two years, and has chalked up four goals and an assist in seven Premier League outings thus far.

The 26-year-old’s fine form has also seen him earn a recall to the Argentina national team for this month’s upcoming friendlies.

Lucas, who has been in fine form himself this term, raved about Lamela’s quality, when speaking to reporters, highlighting how it is a pleasure to play alongside the Spurs forward, as quoted by the club’s official website:

“He’s a very good player, I’m so happy for him. He’s back in the national team, very deserved. He’s a player that helps us very much, for me it’s a pleasure to play on his side. He helps me a lot.”

Next up for Tottenham is their huge Champions League clash with PSV Eindhoven tomorrow night, and Lucas and Lamela will have to be at their very best once again, if Mauricio Pochettino’s side are to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for the knock-out stages of the competition.
