Could the Brazilian struggle for regular football at Tottenham Hotspur if Wilfried Zaha joins?
According to The Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur are hopeful of signing £60 million-rated [The Sun] Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace next week.
Tottenham are yet to sign anyone this summer but the England international is heavily linked with a move to White Hart Lane, among other clubs.
Spurs fans are desperate to see some new faces come through the door and the arrival of Zaha would represent a stunning start to their summer spending.
One man who might not be as enthusiastic about Zaha’s potential transfer is Lucas Moura.
The Brazilian endured a relatively subdued first six months at Tottenham last season after joining from Paris Saint-Germian in January.
He was a mixed bag to say the least and if Zaha joins then Lucas’s game time is likely to be reduced significantly. Simply put, the Palace star is a much more polished and productive player and one who can blow Lucas out of the water.
With Son Heung-min set to miss the first month of the season, Lucas might have been relishing the chance to showcase his talents and impress Mauricio Pochettino, but that’s a lot more unlikely if the former Manchester United man joins.
