Tottenham midfielder Lucas excited by big week ahead

Tottenham midfielder Lucas Moura is excited by a big week ahead.

Derbies against Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League sandwich a must-win game in the Champions League against Inter Milan.

"Brilliant, brilliant games and an amazing week," said Lucas to the club's website.

“These are all huge matches - Premier League, Champions League - and I can't wait for these games. We want to win. We need to win. We still believe in the Champions League.

“We're working so hard, we're near the top in the Premier League and it's not easy, every game is so tough, every game is a test.

“The intensity is so high. Palace...that's one of the most difficult games and we can't always play well, but we got the three points. We didn't play as well as we can but we scored, 1-0 and three points. We can't play well for all 38 games but we always need to win. We did that and we stayed at the top - that's the objective.

“It's a dream to play these games and as I always say, I am privileged."
