5 players who could benefit from Jose Mourinho's arrival at Tottenham

2. Lucas Moura

Can Mourinho help to recapture Lucas' best-attacking form?

Despite that Ajax display, his hat-trick against Huddersfield and a few more memorable moments besides, it's been difficult for Lucas Moura at Tottenham. Ultimately, his main aim has been to develop into a key player and lessen the goalscoring load from Harry Kane, as their overreliance on the England captain has been emphasised in important matches.

With that being said, the Brazilian has struggled to justify a regular starting place - largely because he's not convincing enough at centre-forward and lacks consistency to play on the wings when there are better available alternatives. Billed as someone who provided Spurs with another attacking dimension, he's suffered from predictability in his play and given his slight frame, can be targeted by opposition defenders equipped to deal with his trickery.

Under Mourinho, he could enjoy a new lease of life and settle into one firm position to call his own - rather than being deployed across the frontline with different responsibilities and expectations of him every other week.

During his career to date, he's featured on four occasions in different teams (PSG, Tottenham) against Mourinho with contrasting success: three times on the wing where he failed to make a lasting impression, but importantly scoring a well-taken brace in a second striker role pairing Kane at Old Trafford before Jose was sacked last term. Could we perhaps see more of the same in future?
