Tottenham ace Lucas Moura insists no Emery grudge

Tottenham ace Lucas Moura insists he holds no grudge against Arsenal boss Unai Emery.

Lucas quit PSG last January after being frozen out by then coach Emery.

But he told RMC: "I think the coach had his reasons and I have to respect them.

"There are a lot of players too, he had to choose eleven. I thought I could play and have more opportunities but the coach decided, and I respect him. And as I said, I have to look forward.

"Now I am happy here, I have the opportunity to play."

Lucas added: "My time in France was very positive, five seasons where I won a lot. I grew up well, I made a lot of friends. I also had bad moments, but it's part of a footballer's life."
