Lucas Moura admits it was emotional to farewell Tottenham fans on Saturday.

The Brazil attacker will leave Spurs at the end of the season and made his final appearance in a Tottenham shirt at Tottenham stadium on Saturday.

He told the club's website: "It's a mix of emotions... it's very hard to say goodbye, especially when you love the place you are, when you love your team-mates. It has been a pleasure, five years was amazing, so special. I'm so grateful. I don't have the words to thank everyone enough. I cannot explain how I'm feeling, how grateful I am, how happy I am, all the affection. These years have been unbelievable.

"Like I said, I don't have the words to explain how I'm feeling. I will miss it a lot, the stadium, the players, all the people who work at the club, the atmosphere, I will miss it all. I have enjoyed this adventure and what makes it even more special is that I had my second son here and my family have grown up watching me play here at this stadium. When they are older, I will show them the video, and they will be proud.

"Now, we keep going and wait for the next challenge. It's difficult to say more I've already cried a lot. I will keep every moment in my heart - and I will be back."
