Lucas Moura finalising Spurs deal - sources

Published on: 30 January 2018

Lucas Moura was at Tottenham Hotspur's Enfield training ground, Hotspur Way, on Tuesday to finalise details of a £25 million move from Paris Saint-Germain, a source close to the London club has told ESPN FC.

The Brazilian arrived from Paris on the Eurostar on Tuesday morning ahead of a medical after Spurs agreed a fee with the French club.

Moura will also finalise personal terms on an expected three-and-a-half year deal, with the option of a further year, after being told to find a new club by PSG.

Spurs have still to secure a work permit for the Brazil international, who has 35 caps, but sources said they do not expect any issues with the paperwork.

Moura, who won a silver medal at the London Olympics in 2012, has already met with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and manager Mauricio Pochettino after touring Hotspur Way last week.

Moura joined PSG for £33.5m from Sao Paulo in 2013 but has made just six substitute appearances this season following the summer signings of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. The 25-year-old has scored 46 goals and added 50 assists in 229 appearances for PSG, winning 13 domestic trophies in France, including four Ligue 1 titles.

Moura will not cup-tied for the Champions League ahead of Spurs' round-of-16 tie against Juventus next month, having not featured in the competition for PSG this season.

But Spurs will have to remove a foreign player from the squad because they already have 17, the maximum, registered.
