Lucas Moura has told The Daily Mail that Tottenham Hotspur are bigger than Paris Saint-Germain.

Moura joined Premier League club Tottenham from Ligue 1 outfit PSG in the January transfer window.

According to Sky Sports, Spurs had to pay the French giants a transfer fee of £25 million in order to secure the services of the 25-year-old winger.

The Brazil international winger has said that Tottenham are bigger than PSG.

Moura told The Daily Mail: “Tottenham are a big club. They are probably bigger in structure than PSG. I am impressed about this and I was happy to come here.”

Stepping up

Moura struggled to make an impact at Tottenham following his move from PSG in the January transfer window.

The former Sao Paulo star was able to play only 208 minutes of Premier League football during the second half of the 2017-18 campaign, according to WhoScored.

However, Spurs fans should be confident and optimistic about Moura turning on the style this season.

The 25-year-old is having a good pre-season, and having had time to get to know how teammates and understand manager Mauricio Pochettino’s strategies, the winger will be determined to turn on the style for Spurs this season.
