Last season will go down in Tottenham's history for so many reasons but perhaps for none more so than Lucas Moura's sensational Champions League semi-final hat-trick. Indeed, it epitomised everything about their campaign, with that last minute goal ensuring one of the greatest comebacks in history.

Truly incredible.

So, amid recent rather strange suggestions from John Aldridge in the Irish Independent claiming his former club, Liverpool, should make a move for the Brazilian, we'll be taking a look into what the future holds for him.

Though Moura (who Mauricio Pochettino described as a superhero after that night in Amsterdam) undoubtedly inserted his name into Tottenham folklore for years to come, it wasn't all plain sailing for the South American.

He seemed to have established himself in the squad at the start of last season, particularly impressing with a phenomenal brace in Tottenham's 3-0 early season dismantling of Manchester United, emerging as a genuine option in the final third after a fairly slow start to life after leaving PSG.

In fact, Moura's brace actually perfectly summed up his season. The forward continuously showed glimpses of genuine top-class ability throughout the campaign but failed to ever put a string of impressive performances together. Just look at some of the moments throughout the season; his United brace, his equaliser away at Barcelona, his hat-trick against Huddersfield and, of course, his hat-trick against Ajax.

The attacker finished the season with 10 goals in 32 league games, with five goals in 12 Champions League games. A solid return to say the least. Yet, if you (hypothetically) take away the hat-tricks, the stats are seven goals in 31 league games, with two goals in 11 Champions League games.

Now, this is indeed a fairly redundant exercise. However, it's merely highlighting the point that Moura had largely baron spells last season. He could look lively at times, but could ultimately fade out of games without a whimper, which has seemingly been a problem in his game since his early days in the French capital, with the Guardian taking a closer look at it in 2014.

A perhaps harsh assessment of Tottenham's latest hero. Yet, it provides some reasoning as to why Pochettino opted to play a half-fit Harry Kane in his place against Liverpool.

Pochettino could have dropped Heung-min Son or the less impressive Dele Alli. He opted to drop Moura to the chagrin of sections of support online (via the Express), however. In hindsight, that may have been the wrong decision considering Alli's performance, one that was ranked as only 5/10 by ESPN.

Clearly, Moura is still just 26-years-old and if he can turn his patches of unplayable form into a more regular occurrence, Tottenham have a genuinely top-level player on their books.

Tottenham fans, do you think Moura can progress further this season? Let us know!
