Davinson Sanchez has been speaking to Sky Sports about life at Tottenham under Antonio Conte, following the dramatic 3-2 win over Leicester.
Interestingly, the £42m defender spoke about something Lucas Moura did during the wild celebrations at the King Power Stadium.
What’s the story?
Well, after Steven Bergwijn rounded Kasper Schmeichel to slot home a 97th minute winner, Lucas went crazy.
The Brazilian could be seen ripping a fan’s hat from their head during the jubilant scenes, while he also hopped onto the back of a steward.
Not once, but twice.
Speaking about his teammate’s wild actions, Sanchez said: “Everybody knows Lucas is a funny guy. It is a very natural way for him to do these types of things. We know his behaviour and we know that he’s very honest.
“In the moment we didn’t realise what had happened, but when videos started to appear we just said, ‘What are you doing Lucas?!’, because he was doing crazy things! Then he said, ‘Yes I know, I just jumped over the guy and started to say COYS, COYS, COYS!'”
Clearly, Lucas is a big character around Hotspur Way, and he seems to have become truly invested in Spurs.
Lucas Moura is a cult hero at Tottenham
In our view, Lucas is a strange player.
At times, he looks like he could play for any side in the world, but he just seems to be lacking a bit of consistency.
Nevertheless, the 29-year-old has become a bonafide cult hero at Tottenham since his £23m move from Paris Saint-Germain in 2018.
It was Lucas who singlehandedly fired Spurs into their first ever Champions League final with a stunning hat-trick against Ajax in 2019.
In truth, he could’ve just done that and that alone to achieve hero status in N17.
Aside from that special night in Amsterdam, Lucas seems very passionate about Tottenham, and has fully thrown himself into the Spurs culture.
When he eventually leaves Tottenham, we’re sure he’ll receive a special reception from the supporters who have grown to love him.
