Lucas Moura makes Spurs vow after revealing Poch guidance

Lucas Moura believes he can help Tottenham make history by winning a trophy after lifting the lid on the vital role Mauricio Pochettino has played in his development at the club.

The Brazil winger made a slow start to life in the Premier League, having arrived in a £25million deal from PSG last January – but illustrated his new-found belief with a brilliantly-taken double in Monday’s incredible 3-0 win at Manchester United.

With Heung-min Son currently on duty with South Korea at the Asian Games, Moura has become an integral member of Pochettino’s side and the player – who on Wednesday was vocal in his criticism of Arsenal manager Unai Emery – wants to help Spurs end their long wait for a trophy.

“My objective is to win a trophy and make history here and I believe we can do that because we have a very good team, very good structure and very good fans so just need to believe and work because we can [make history].”

Moura admits he took time to settle in England, but believes Pochettino has played his part in helping his game progress.

“I feel so comfortable here now. I am so happy with my new life, with my new – my house, my club, my team-mates – so I want to stay here for a long time,” he added.

“The coach is very important for me because I talk to him all the time, and even with Jesus [Perez], his assistant,” Moura said.

“They have helped me a lot. It is important to understand what they want from me and do my best.

“I know that I have quality – that is why I am here so I need to believe and try to do what the coach wants.”

Moura has been capped 36 times by Brazil but missed out on the squad for the 2018 World Cup.
