Antonio Conte has reportedly placed four attacking Tottenham players on the transfer list, including Lucas Moura – and Spurs fans have responded.

Lucas, 29, has arguably been one of Tottenham’s better players this season, so far. He notched his second goal of the season on Thursday night.

Played in by Harry Kane, the Brazil international and ex-PSG ace finished coolly when one on one – sliding an effort under the on-rushing goalkeeper.

It comes after scoring the only goal of the game in last week’s Carabao Cup win over Burnley at Turf Moor. An excellent header, past Nick Pope.

But despite this, Spanish newspaper AS claim Conte has placed Lucas on a four-man list of attacking stars that could be sold in the coming months.

It also includes Gio Lo Celso, Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn. For the other three, they are struggling for game time – but for Lucas, he is first choice.

What are Tottenham fans saying about Conte possibly selling Lucas?

It is not just the goals that Lucas provides. It is his ability to go past players, to make something happen – to win the ball back in the middle of the park.

While his end product is some way off Harry Kane, or Son Heung-min, his contribution to the Spurs side is not matched. His work rate is superb.

He has now clocked up 171 games in all competitions, almost four years since joining – having a hand in 54 goals. A decent return.

Tottenham fans are surprised, then, to learn that £80k-a-week (Spotrac) Lucas could be sold by Conte and many disagree with it on Twitter.
