Moura said: ‘Why not? The Champions League is the most difficult cup but I think we have the capacity to win it.
‘If you always think in positives, always work hard it’s possible. I think we did a big game against Juventus away. I am so happy with my new team.
‘I am 25 now but I think I won a lot of experience with PSG and I think I can help Tottenham.
‘I think we have a lot of quality and a great structure and I think we can arrive at the end of the season with a trophy.’ Moura has had to wait for his chance at Tottenham.

But he was their best player in Lancashire and said: ‘It’s difficult to explain, I’m so happy.
‘Since August in France I have not started a game. I start against Rochdale and I’m so happy.
‘This is my new team, my new friends. I want to say thanks to God because I’m very happy. It’s too difficult for a player when we don’t play.
‘We want always to be on the pitch, to play. ‘In this time I worked very hard, I stayed always positive.
‘I worked and I waited for my new opportunity today and I think I played a good game and I am so happy for that.’
