Lucas Moura has stated that he wants to become a "champion" at Tottenham.
Signed in January 2018 by former manager Mauricio Pochettino, the Brazilian has scored a number of key goals for the Lilywhites in his two years in the capital, including his stunning hat-trick against Ajax that clinched a place in last season's Champions League final.
While Spurs didn't manage to get their hands on the famous trophy as they lost 2-0 in Madrid, the appointment of Jose Mourinho will hopefully see the club win some silverware for the first time since 2008.
The 57-year-old has an excellent record of winning trophies in his first full season at every club he's managed and that will be the aim for the 2020/21 campaign.
Speaking to Globo Esporte (via Sport Witness) in his homeland about a potential return to Sao Paulo in the future, Lucas outlined what he wants to achieve at Spurs before heading home.
“You know I have that goal in my career," he said. "But I have things to achieve here, the club is growing a lot. With the arrival of Mourinho and after last season, we reached another level.
"I aim to be champion here. I really want to be a champion and mark my name in the history of the club.
"When I get determined to return to São Paulo, if the club want me, I’ll definitely go there.”
Lucas and his teammates have been back at Hotspur Way over the past week after Premier League clubs voted to return to training in small groups amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Currently putting in the hard work ahead of the potential return of football in the not too distant future, the 27-year-old also reflected on his first pre-season at the club under Pochettino when discussing the game in England.
“I think the English is very different. It’s the most competitive football in the world," he added. "I think it stands out for the intensity of the game and the tactical discipline, which is very high.
"Englishmen by nature are very competitive. Whatever the training they do, they want to win. The game is always with maximum intensity.
"I suffered a lot in the beginning with the physical part. The first pre-season was very difficult.
"I think that stands out for this, in addition to technical quality, of having many players from different countries who come to play here for the beauty of the league and the purchasing power of the clubs.”
