Tottenham attacker Lucas Moura believes the team can challenge Manchester City and Liverpool for the Premier League crown this season.
Spurs have two wins from two and Moura scored in our 3-1 triumph over Fulham at Wembley. The Brazilian was asked if Spurs could match City and the Reds, to which he replied (ESPN Brazil h/t Football.london):
“I believe so. We are a very strong team. In the last two seasons we were always in the first places, qualifying for the Champions League.
“I think the important thing is that nobody left. I think we still have a very strong team, well intertwined, that’s very important, too.
“We have full conditions to fight at the top of the table.”
Moura played just 11 times for us last season but has started in both our matches in this campaign. The former Paris Saint-Germain star has replaced Son Heung-min in our side. The South Korean is away on Asian Games duty and Moura added he does not want to let this chance go.
“I have to take advantage of the opportunities that show up. It’s my first season from the start here with Tottenham.
“I tried to work hard and strong in the pre-season to get started. And the opportunities are there. I have to take it, it’s a big one I’m having. I will work hard, I will do my utmost to be able to help the team, to gain my spot in the team.”

The Brazilian had a complete pre-season to work under Mauricio Pochettino and it seems to be paying off. Moura does have a lot of quality and the former PSG man will be an important player throughout the season as we look to pick up a trophy.
