Lucas Moura has described Tottenham’s acquisition of James Maddison as a ‘great signing’ on social media.
Maddison had just one year left on his contract with Leicester and following the Foxes’ relegation from the top flight, it was always clear that the attacking midfielder was going to depart the King Power Stadium this summer.
Reports had indicated just days after Ange Postecoglou’s arrival at Tottenham that the 26-year-old had been identified by the Australian as a ‘priority target’ (Telegraph).
Not only have Spurs managed to deliver the signing before the start of pre-season but they have reportedly paid just £40m for the player (Guardian), a far cry from the £60m that Leicester were reportedly demanding (Evening Standard).
Maddison will add creativity to a midfield that had become too workmanlike under Antonio Conte, and Spurs fans will be hoping that the England international will be able to take his game to a new level in N17.
Lucas Moura is still a Tottenham fan at heart
It is not just Tottenham fans who are excited by the signing but seemingly Moura as well.
The Brazilian reacted to the club’s announcement of Maddison’s arrival on Instagram with a comment that reads: “Great Signing!! COYS COYS COYS!!”
Spurs Web Opinion
Football has become quite transactional these days, with very few players connecting with the history and the fan base of the clubs that they represent.
Lucas is thus a breath of fresh air as he is very clearly one of us and loves the club as we do.
