Moura Speaks On Life Under Unai Emery At PSG

Former PSG midfielder Lucas Moura has claimed that he experienced the worst period of his career under Arsenal manager Unai Emery when the pair were together at the French club.

Moura was frozen out following the headline signings of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe last season. He made just six substitute appearances.

He moved to Tottenham in January and has been impressive under Mauricio Pochettino this season scoring three goals.

Moura told ESPN Brazil, “It was very hard, the worst seven months of my life.

“I came from a very good season, I was second top scorer of the team, only behind Cavani.

“The following season, I wasn’t even called up. I used to go to practice, I wasn’t even in the game. I used to go back home.

“Anyway, it was very difficult. But I kept working hard, strong. And God gave me the best gift of life, my son.”
