Tottenham star Moura broadcasts his right-wing stance ahead of Brazil's election

Tottenham winger Lucas Moura has revealed he is a right-wing conservative ahead of the Brazilian election in October.

As Latin America's largest democracy heads for its deeply divisive election next month, far-right president Jair Bolsonaro has continually alleged that Brazil's voting system is fraudulent, finding himself behind to leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the most recent polls.

During his presidency, ex-army captain Bolsonaro has fervently sought the military's support and employed over 6,000 retired or active army members into his administration.

As a result, there are fears that Bolsonaro could seek an armed intervention and incite an uprising if he loses, perhaps pre-empting his expected defeat on October 2.

During an interview with SoFoot, Moura implied he would be voting to support Bolsonaro in the upcoming election, despite admitting that there is no 'perfect candidate'.

'I have no problem giving my opinion on this,' he said. 'I am a right-wing conservative, I follow Christian and family principles.

'I don't see a perfect presidential candidate but I can't deny that Bolsonaro is the closest to what I believe.'

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old did not hold back in his scathing criticism of Lula's left-wing stance, revealing it would be 'almost impossible' to back the 76-year-old, who was president between 2003 and 2010.

'Lula supports everything I am against,' he added.

'Left-wing ideology, socialism and even Communism which is nothing but Nazism. Supporting Lula is almost impossible.'
