Tottenham Hotspur are being strongly linked with Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura.

According to Sky Sports, Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura is interested in joining Tottenham Hotspur, as he is impressed with their style of play as well as their manager, Mauricio Pochettino.

Tottenham rarely do business during the January transfer window under Mauricio Pochettino, and that has been the case once again this time, with no new signings add this month.

However, after a tepid display without Christian Eriksen against Southampton on Sunday afternoon, fans are keen to see another creative player brought in, whether it’s another playmaker or a winger.

Recent speculation has suggested that Tottenham are interested in a number of Brazilian talents, with the London Evening Standard claiming that they are keen on Paris Saint-Germain’s Lucas Moura.

Now, Sky Sports claim that Moura is keen on a move to Spurs, as he has been impressed with their style of play, and he believes that Pochettino is the right manager to play under at this stage in his career.

Moura, 25, was sensation in his native Brazil with Sao Paulo, earning a 2013 move to PSG, and whilst he maybe hasn’t lived up to his potential, he did hit 18 goals in all competitions last season.

The wide man has though failed to start a single league or Champions League game this season, and looks set to leave the club after being frozen out following the arrival of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe over the summer.

However, with an alleged £35million fee and £75,000-a-week in wages needed to sign him, it’s still considered unlikely that Spurs will sign Moura before Wednesday’s transfer deadline – even if he does want the move.
