'Communism is nothing different from Nazism': Tottenham star Lucas Moura broadcasts his right-wing stance ahead of Brazil's election in October... admitting President Jair Bolsonaro comes 'closest' to his beliefs

Tottenham winger Lucas Moura has revealed he is a right-wing conservative ahead of the Brazilian election in October.

As Latin America's largest democracy heads for its deeply divisive election next month, far-right president Jair Bolsonaro has continually alleged that Brazil's voting system is fraudulent, finding himself behind to leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the most recent polls.

During his presidency, ex-army captain Bolsonaro has fervently sought the military's support and employed over 6,000 retired or active army members into his administration.

As a result, there are fears that Bolsonaro could seek an armed intervention and incite an uprising if he loses, perhaps pre-empting his expected defeat on October 2.
