Lucas Moura names Tottenham ace in his top five teammates after making him a 'better player'

Lucas Moura has played with some very good players since making his professional debut for Sao Paulo back in 2010.

Playing alongside the likes of Casemiro and Rivaldo for the Brazilian side, his form alerted a number of top European clubs and he finalised a move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2013 amid interest from Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Now a name on the European stage due to the French club's involvement in the Champions League, he got the chance to be teammates with some fantastic players as the Parisians spent big in their quest to win Europe's top prize.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani and Thiago Silva were just some of his teammates in his first full season at the Parc des Princes, with the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe later joining him prior to his move to Tottenham.

Alasdair Gold answers Tottenham Hotspur questions

Given the world-class players he has had the honour of sharing a dressing room with over the past decade, who are his all-time top five teammates?

Well, the 27-year-old has revealed his five players to Bleacher Report and one of his current teammates at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium makes the list.

Listing Neymar, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mbappe and Ronaldinho in his top five, it was Spurs star Harry Kane who made the cut from N17, with the winger crediting the England captain for making him a "better player" during their time together in the capital.

"For me, Harry Kane is already a legend of the Premier League in England," he told Bleacher Report. "For me, his quality to score goals is unbelievable, with right and left foot.

"He's so strong. He shoots very, very strong.

"He's very competitive and he wants to win every training session, every game and it's pushed me a lot to be a better player, to improve my game.

"If I don't give my best, it will affect him and he'll complain about this, so it makes me a better player for Spurs."
