Lucas impressed for Spurs against Rochdale on Wednesday night.
Tottenham Hotspur will be desperate to avoid slipping up against relegation-threatened Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon as they play host to the Terriers at Wembley – and Spurs fans are keen to see Lucas Moura start.
Moura, 25, is developing quite the reputation among Spurs fans following his £25million move from Paris Saint-Germain in the January transfer window in what are the early stages of his Spurs career.
The Brazil international was in excellent, yet unselfish mood against League One side AFC Rochdale on Wednesday night, as he made just his fourth appearance for Spurs in all competitions – only his second start, clocking up 178 minutes.
He created Fernando Llorente’s first two goals early in the second half as the Spanish target man went on to score a hat-trick in an emphatic 6-1 win over Keith Hill’s side.
Already off the mark with a goal in the original FA Cup clash against Rochdale, Mours has hit the ground running at Spurs and fans of the north London club want to see him make his first Premier League start against Huddersfield.
One fan has urged Pochettino to start Lucas “more in the league”.
