Former PSG star, Lucas Moura has claimed that he endured the worst period of his career under new Arsenal manager, Unai Emery when the pair were together at the French capital city club.
The Brazil international was frozen out following the headline signings of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe last season. He made just six substitute appearances.
He moved to Tottenham in January and has been impressive under Mauricio Pochettino this season scoring three goals in as many Premier League games.
Recalling his PSG nightmare, the 26-year-old told ESPN Brazil, “It was very hard, the worst seven months of my life.
“I came from a very good season, I was second top scorer of the team, only behind Cavani.
“The following season, I wasn’t even called up. I used to go to practice, I wasn’t even in the game. I used to go back home.
“Anyway, it was very difficult. But I kept working hard, strong. And God gave me the best gift of life, my son.”
