Tottenham HotspurAfter five-and-a-half memorable years, we say a fond farewell to Lucas Moura who is set to leave the Club this summer following the conclusion of his contract.
A signing from Paris Saint-Germain in January, 2018, Lucas made his debut in our Champions League round of 16 first leg clash with Juventus in Turin the following month before making his first start and scoring his first goal later that February as we travelled to Rochdale in the FA Cup.
The following season, he fully announced himself in Lilywhite. Scoring his first Premier League goal in our first home game of the season - a 3-1 win over Fulham - he then hit a brilliant brace against Manchester United as we defeated the Red Devils 3-0 at Old Trafford. His performances that August saw him named the league's Player of the Month.
More memorable moments followed for the Brazilian that season, including scoring the first ever hat-trick at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a treble in a 4-0 win over Huddersfield Town in April, 2019. The next month though came Lucas' crowning achievement in our colours came. Writing his name into Club folklore, the forward scored an unforgettable second-half treble - including the tie winner in the final seconds of the match - in our Champions League semi-final second leg clash with Ajax which saw us reach the competition's final for the first time. It shouldn't be forgotten either that our number 27 scored the equaliser for us in our final group stage game of that campaign at Barcelona (1-1) - a goal which was crucial in helping us through to the knockout stages.
Goals have continued for Lucas in north London, 38 in total, while last season he surpassed the 200-appearance milestone for the Club.
