Tottenham star is quickly becoming a fan favourite.
Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura scored on his first start for the club at the weekend in the FA Cup.
The Brazilian netted in a 2-2 draw against Rochdale to get his Sours spell off to the best possible beginning.
Lucas this morning posted a message on social media inspiring others to ‘fight for your dreams’.
Lucas’ message is particularly poignant considering how his switch to Tottenham came about.
The winger’s season had turned into a write off at Paris Saints-Germain – where he had not made a single start all season.
His chances of making Brazil’s squad for this summer’s World Cup were quickly disappearing, which is why he pushed for a move.
In late January he spoke out against his club, quoted by L’Equipe: “It’s a brutal blow. I’m gutted that I’m no longer playing, to no longer be able to express myself as I was doing before.
“I’m not happy. I thought I’d built something solid with this club, but that’s clearly not the case.”
Indeed if he had not publicly kicked up a fuss and publicly sought an exit, then his situation at PSG could well have continued.
After he scored 18 goals in all competitions last season it was clear that his exclusion from the first team picture was not on merit.
Tottenham are fortunate to have a player who is willing to fight for his own cause, and this has shown on the pitch early on with his commitment to battle for his team and chase down opponents.
Spurs fans are impressed with his attitude and performances and let him know…
