Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura worked with Arsenal manager Unai Emery at Paris Saint-Germain.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to comments from Lucas Moura about Arsenal manager Unai Emery.
Moura worked with Arsenal manager Emery when they were at French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
The 26-year-old winger struggled to play regularly for PSG under the Spanish coach and moved to Tottenham in January 2018 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £23 million.
The Brazil international winger has established himself as an important player in Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs team, and has scored four goals in 12 Premier League appearances and one goal in 304 minutes of Champions League football so far this season, according to WhoScored.
Moura will face his old boss Emery on Sunday afternoon when Arsenal face Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium in the North London derby.
Ahead of the match, the Brazilian has spoken about the time he spent at PSG struggling to play consistently under Emery.
Moura told The Mirror: “I forget the last five or six months I had at PSG. I like to think about the four years when I was very happy there and won a lot of trophies.”
The Spurs star added: “I need to respect the decision of the coach. I know that it’s difficult for him because he needs to choose 11 players to play.
“I don’t like to look behind. I like to look forward to what I can do, what I can win. I have nothing against Unai, I respect him, he is a very good coach.”
Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Moura’s comments about Emery, with some predicting that he will score the winner in the Premier League game on Sunday.
