Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly considering a first Premier League start for Tottenham ace Lucas Moura.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly considering whether to hand new signing Lucas Moura his first Premier League start on Sunday – and fans have urged their manager to do so.
The 25-year-old scored on his first start for the north Londoners, as he was given a chance from the off by Pochettino against Rochdale in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
He found the back of the net after a precise assist from Moussa Sissoko during the 2-2 draw, as he made his first proper appearance for Spurs after coming on in the 89th minute against Italian champions Juventus beforehand.
The London Evening Standard claim that Pochettino is considering his January signing from Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a potential start against Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace, as the two London sides meet at Selhurst Park this weekend.
Tottenham fans are desperate to see their Brazil international take to the field from the off in what will be his first Premier League appearance for Spurs, as they look to continue an excellent run of form that has seen Spurs go unbeaten in 14.
One fan believes Lucas, along with Son Heung-Min, will have “too much for the Palace defence”.
