Tottenham Hotspur signed Lucas Moura from PSG during the January transfer window.
Spurs signed Moura from PSG during the January transfer window, but he is yet to make his debut.
The Brazilian has only played six times this season, and he has been getting up to speed since moving to Tottenham.
Moura could now be selected to play in the North London Derby, and Pochettino says he has been impressed by what he has seen from the speedster in training so far.
“Yes. I think he will be ready to be in contention for Saturday,” Pochettino said.
“He’s doing well — training so hard. He’s starting to feel his legs (having only made six substitute appearances so far this season for PSG).
“We need to assess him tomorrow, after the last training session, but I hope he’s doing well and we can put him in contention.”
Moura’s inclusion will increase Spurs’ attacking options against Arsenal.
The winger is likely to be kept on the substitutes’ bench, but he could be a brilliant weapon for Spurs to use later in the game.
If Tottenham can beat Arsenal it will seriously strengthen their push for a Champions League place.
Not only will Spurs move into the top four with a victory, but they would also put seven points between themselves and their north London rivals.
