Lucas Moura announces his intentions for next season with Tottenham

Lucas Moura was happy with his performances this season but feels Tottenham must learn from their mistakes if they are to win trophies.

The Brazilian scored nine goals and laid on eight assists, shining particularly in the cup competitions for Tottenham as he racked up 50 appearances during the season.

He also shifted position briefly under Jose Mourinho into a more central role, which brought out some of his best performances in the Premier League.

When asked to sum up the season in which Spurs finished seventh in the table, Lucas admitted that he was happy individually but wants more for the club.

"It's always difficult to speak personally, but collectively I think the season was very, very tough," the 28-year-old said on the club website.

"We have the quality to do much, much better and we lost several opportunities. Personally I can see it in a good way, I can take positive things.

"I’m happy with my performances but it’s not enough because I wanted to help the team qualify for the Champions League.

"I wanted to win a trophy and it was not possible. But that’s football, we need to learn from our mistakes and do better next season."

He added: "I can say that I am very happy in this group with my team-mates and I always say that my dream, my objective is to win trophies with this team, this club – especially because I think we have the quality for this and the talent for this."
