The Tottenham Hotspur winger will be hoping to make his mark in England this season.

Tottenham winger Lucas Moura spoke to reporters whilst away in America on the club’s pre-season tour, and insisted that he is 100 per cent ready for the challenge that lies in store for him this season, as quoted by Sky Sports.

The Brazilian joined Tottenham from Paris Saint-Germain on transfer deadline day in January of this year, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £23 million, according to BBC Sport, but he has failed to establish himself as a first-team regular for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Now that he has had half a season to settle into life in north London, however, he will be expected to start producing the goods on a regular basis, if he is given the opportunity to do so, of course.

Lucas, 25, spoke to reporters last night, and insisted that he is 100 per cent ready to help his team this season, despite admitting that he is still a little reserved and shy, as quoted by Sky Sports:

“I hope this season I will be 100 per cent ready to help the team. I feel comfortable now but I am a little bit reserved, a little bit shy, but all my team-mates are very nice and I am so happy, everyone helps me.”

The former PSG winger did chalk up one goal and four assists in 11 appearances for Tottenham last season, but both he and the club’s fans will be expecting vast improvements this time around.

Spurs are expected to mount a serious challenge for the Premier League title, and if they are going to do just that, the likes of Lucas will have to be at their very best for the entirety of the campaign.
