Pochettino the perfect guy for Lucas?

For three weeks, it seemed as though Tottenham would be prepared to stand back and let everyone else join the deadline-day scramble.

Even when they were heavily linked with Bordeaux winger Malcom, no response was forthcoming.

However, with the clock ticking, Spurs made their move for Lucas Moura, who had already been linked with Manchester United and Arsenal this month.

There is still work to be done. But Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is not one to fail on deadline day.

Lucas Moura has been in London since the end of last week and he has met Daniel Levy and other people at Tottenham. He didn't want to leave Paris, he had a baby not long ago and has many close friends at Paris St-Germain, but he knows that he has to go as he is not playing.
He has been forced out by PSG. At 25, Spurs realise £25m for a player with his potential is pretty cheap.

He has shown at times that he has a lot of talent. He needs consistency and he needs a manager who can help him improve, something Unai Emery and Laurent Blanc have not been able to do at PSG.

Mauricio Pochettino may be the perfect guy for him right now. He has the pace, he has the skill but he is going to get kicked a lot. If he can cope with the aggression he will be fine.
