Rio Ferdinand thinks £80k-a-week Spurs player has impressed Conte

Spurs boss Antonio Conte will be happy with the goal Lucas Moura scored last time out, according to Rio Ferdinand.

Tottenham made it three Premier League wins in a row on Sunday when they put three past Norwich at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs are improving with each passing game under Conte and Moura did his bit with a sensational goal against the Canaries.

The Spurs forward opened the scoring in north London with a ferocious top-corner effort from range after just 10 minutes.

Tottenham subsequently struck twice in the second half as Davinson Sanchez and Son Heung-min made all three points safe.

Ferdinand, speaking on Vibe with FIVE, raved about Moura’s strike and claimed Conte will be happy with how other players are sharing the goals.

“Banger,” he said. “Lucas Moura, take a bow.

“I think he’ll be happy with that, Conte, as well, that other people are scoring.

“They’re still getting goals and other people are contributing, not having to rely on Harry (Kane).

“He’s probably thinking as a manager, ‘wait until Harry’s on fire, wait until I get him going’.

“In that sense it’s good – and he’ll be as happy with the clean sheet.”

Moura etched his place in Tottenham folklore thanks to that Champions League night in Ajax two-and-a-half years ago.

The £80,000-a-week ace has struggled for consistency since then at times – but can he get back to his best under Conte?
