Tottenham attacker Lucas Moura: Time for silverware

Tottenham attacker Lucas Moura says it's time to end their trophy drought.

Moura has ­challenged his Tottenham team-mates to win a ­trophy this season to make up for the heartache of their Champions League final defeat in June.

Moura was not even on boss Mauricio Pochettino's ­team sheet for his starting XI for the showpiece.

He recalled: “No, he didn't speak with me. He didn't explain anything, but it's ­normal.

“He made his choice and I needed to respect it and be ready to come on and play.

“In the hotel, when he gave the starting XI, of course, I was a little bit sad inside.

“But I know how to understand, I know how to respect and I know how difficult it is for him to choose 11 players.

“That's football. We need to be professional and keep working."

Moura added: “We can dream of winning a trophy now and we need to work hard – ­because it is possible."
