Tottenham boss Pochettino admits Lucas could see Arsenal action

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits Lucas Moura could see action against Arsenal on Saturday.

The Brazilian joined Spurs from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day, as Pochettino looks to add pace and depth to his forward line ahead of the run-in.

The Spurs boss has, though, urged caution over Moura's early performances and has warned that, like Erik Lamela and Heung-min Son, it could take time for him to become a success in north London.

"I think he will be ready to be in contention. He's doing well, training so hard," the Argentine told reporters.

"He's starting to feel his legs. We need to assess him tomorrow after the last training session but I hope's he's doing well and we can put him in contention."
