Lucas Moura is delighted after a first week of training under new Tottenham manager Nuno.
Lucas has featured in 146 of 168 matches in all competitions over the last three seasons.
“I think this is pre-season number 12!" Lucas told the club's website. “I'm happy to be back, I miss football. It's always a new challenge when you have a new coach, that gives us all motivation.
"You know what? It's always difficult to think about pre-season because we know we have to do a lot of physical work, and the start of the season is still a while away, but at the same time we're excited to see our team-mates and train together again.
"So, when I'm on holiday, I try to enjoy time with my family and friends, enjoy time to rest, but I also think about pre-season and even the pre-season matches. I feel good, I feel positive for the season, so let's go!"
