Spurs Resurgent Star
Lucas Moura will forever be known for his starring role in the Miracle of Amsterdam. The Brazilian’s hat trick in that game has cemented himself in Spurs history forever.
However, since that game, his form has taken a turn for the worse. Notching only 12 G/A in all competitions in the entirety of last season. However, the Brazilian has 6 G/A in his last 12 games, with 3 assists in his last 4 Premier League games.
Ever since his position change to attacking midfielder Lucas has revolutionized his game. His bursting runs through the middle have been vital and his one-on-one play is second to none.

Constantly drawing fouls in dangerous positions, fans can’t help but think how things could be different this season if Spurs had a free-kick taker at the club.
The Brazilian’s pace has been so important to this Spurs side, particularly with Harry Kane’s newfound playmaking ability. When Jose Mourinho’s squad finally reaches full flow, opposition defenses will be terrified of Harry Kane picking up the ball in deep areas with Lucas and Son making runs ahead of him.
The Brazilian has from now until the end of the season to convince Mourinho, or Levy should Mourinho be sacked, that he is worth keeping. Particularly after Alasdair Gold reported that Spurs could be tempted to sell the 28-year-old.
In any case, the Brazilian always leaves his heart out on the pitch and must continue to do so if he is to stay at N17. COYS
