Tottenham’s swoop for Lucas Moura will likely be remembered as one of the 2018 January transfer window’s better deals. The Brazil international, valued at £25.2million by Transfermarkt, arrives with a strong reputation from his time at PSG, where he inevitably slumped behind Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the pecking order.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean the winger should be automatically thrown into Tottenham’s starting XI. Spurs have benefited hugely before from allowing players the time to settle, Heung-min Son and Moussa Sissoko being the more obvious examples under Mauricio Pochettino.
And with that in mind, we asked Tottenham fans earlier this week whether they’d like to see Moura start this weekend when the Lilywhites take on Liverpool at Anfield. Showing unusual restraint considering the 25-year-old is a new signing though, the majority of Spurs fans wouldn’t start him on Sunday according to our poll.
