Tottenham forward Lucas happy Luiz now 'living closer'

Tottenham forward Lucas Moura is happy for David Luiz over his move to Arsenal.

The pair played together at PSG.

"David is a very experienced player and knows how to go through this situation. He will be stronger very soon," Moura told the London Evening Standard.

"I am happy for him because it was a good transfer for him to make. I am also happy because he is closer to me now.

"He can come visit me at my home easier because when he was at Chelsea, he was so far away!"

While Moura, 27, will look to hang out with his Brazil team-mate, he will first focus his attention on helping Spurs overcame their fierce rivals this weekend.

"On Sunday he will be my opponent, I will work and do the best for my team to get three points. On the pitch (out relationship) is different," he added.

"It doesn't matter who the opponent is, I need to do my best and try to win."
