Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino: 'Lucas Moura ready for start in Premier League'

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino says that January signing Lucas Moura is now fit enough to start matches in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that Lucas Moura is now ready to start a match in the Premier League.

Moura moved to Spurs in January having failed to feature in Paris Saint-Germain's starting lineup all season, and the Brazilian international has only started in two FA Cup fixtures with Rochdale during his first month at the club.

However, after starting to make an impact with the North Londoners, Pochettino has hinted that the attacker is now in contention for more playing time in the top flight.

At a press conference, the 45-year-old told reporters: "He's going to have that possibility from now until the end of the season. It's true that he still needs to adapt his quality to the team. We're trying to build his fitness and adapt his characteristics to the team. PSG is a completely different demand, standard and philosophy from here.

"He's capable of everything going forward, he has amazing quality but then he needs to be more involved with the team when we don't have the ball. We're helping him. That is about training, understanding the position and being capable of making efforts with and without the ball. But we're so pleased with how he's adapting himself to the team."

Pochettino has indicated that he will not rotate his team for the meeting with the Terriers, despite their Champions League clash with Juventus taking place four days later.
