Michael Brown reckons that Lucas Moura knows that his days as a starter in the Tottenham first team are numbered as Gareth Bale nears full fitness.
Bale joined Spurs from Real Madrid on loan this summer and the Welsh winger is tipped to become a member of a front three including Son Heung-min and Harry Kane when he returns to full fitness.
He is still working hard to be in top shape at the club and he is one player who will start anytime, as long as he is fit.
Jose Mourinho has eased him into action in some games now and with time he will certainly be playing more regularly.
When that happens, Brown reckons that Moura is the member of the current starting XI that will give way.
He reckons that the Brazilian knows what is coming before adding that even central midfield players like Tanguy Ndombele are not safe.
Brown told Football Insider: “He knows it’s coming but all of them have got to be aware of Gareth Bale and what he is.
“Tanguy Ndombele in that advanced role as well. There’s many ways that he could change it round but defensively as well, you’ve sort of said it’s where they needed to get better.
“To get a clean sheet at Burnley, I think that will have pleased him.”
