Tottenham Hotspur signed up PSG wide-man Lucas Moura yesterday.

Rio Ferdinand has told BT Sport that he believes Lucas Moura can make a big impact at Tottenham Hotspur.

Moura moved to Spurs from PSG yesterday, in a deal worth £25 million according to the Telegraph.

And Ferdinand believes that Moura’s arrival helps to improve Spurs’ options off the bench.

The Manchester United legend said: “Moura coming in with revitalise the changing room and influence the changing room in a positive way.

“Their bench was a weakness a little while ago, but it is starting to look a lot stronger and that is only going to breed confidence throughout the squad.”

Ian Wright also echoed Ferdinand’s thoughts about the transfer, when he was speaking on Match of the Day, which was broadcast on BBC One.

“It’s a very good signing,” Wright said. “Neymar is absolutely seething apparently, so I think it’s a very good signing.”

Moura was Tottenham’s only signing during the January transfer window, and the Brazilian could still have a big part to play.

Moura was in attendance last night, as Spurs demolished Manchester United at Wembley.

Spurs won 2-0 against Jose Mourinho’s men, with the Lilywhites putting in arguably their finest performance of the season.

Moura could make his Tottenham debut at the weekend, when Mauricio Pochettino’s side take on Liverpool at Anfield.
