Moura signs new Spurs deal
Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that forward Lucas Moura has signed a new five-year deal, keeping him at the club until 2024.
Moura, the hero of Spurs dramatic Champions League semi-final success against Ajax in Amsterdam last season, will hope to push his way forward in Mauricio Pochettino's plans this term.
After Tottenham's attempt to sign Paulo Dybala from Juventus fell through on transfer deadline day, the north London club confirmed Moura's new deal on Friday, 24 hours before their season-opener against Aston Villa.
Moura, 5/1 to score the first goal against Villa on Saturday, is excited to have committed his future to Tottenham.
"I'm so happy, it's very good news for me. I'm so happy here, I feel so comfortable here. Everyone is amazing - the fans, the club and I am so thankful for everything that the club gave me," he said.
"Now I just need to give my best like I do always and show everyone that I love to play football and I want to bring a lot more for this club."
The Brazil international reserved his place in Tottenham history with a second half hat-trick as Pochettino's side rallied to overcome Ajax in the famous European battle in May and Moura is relishing creating more special memories.
"My objective is always to be better and make the fans happy. I feel really like a family here. They have been fantastic since my first day here and that's why I think the adaptation was really fast," he added.
"For this season I feel good things and I think we are better now, we are stronger and I think we can get a trophy. We have quality for this."
Spurs are 6/1 to beat Aston Villa 2-0 on Saturday evening, with the Championship Playoff winners 10/1 to start with a sensational win.
