Tottenham fans will always love Lucas Moura, at least for his goals against Ajax that helped them qualify for the Champions League final in 2019.
The Brazilian has been one of the club’s reliable servants since he joined them from PSG and he was in fine form against Crystal Palace in their most recent game.
The Lilywhites took to Twitter to post a video of him in the win against the Eagles and Spurs fans revealed their delight at having him as one of them.
Moura has stayed relevant under Jose Mourinho despite the top talents that he has to compete with for a space in the team.
He showed some fine form in the Palace win and the fans praised him in the comment section of the post. Here are some reactions:
Playing brilliantly in this role his direct central runs cause chaos and attract players leaving space for others 👍

One of his best games in a Spurs shirt……

He's had some great games. Has a lot to offer when he's on it. I quote like him in this position, especially since his most underrated trait is his pressing. Helps us keep the opposition pegged in.

Lucas was class in that position. Kane and Bale couldn’t do what they did without his hard work. His ball carrying at pace through the middle is a real threat. Centrebacks hate pace. More of the same please

The difference between Lucas Moura, Delli Ali and Ndombelle playing at that position is that Moura doesn't waste time on the ball

He tries to connect the midfield to the attack and he is very hardworking
Spurs will need all their top players to keep performing at their very best for the remaining games of the season.
This is because their late charge towards the top four has to be maintained if they want to take a Champions League spot.
