Moura struggled for game-time at the Parc des Princes following Neymar’s arrival from Barcelona in the summer of 2017, and his switch to Tottenham is expected to coincide with a return to form for the talented 25-year-old.

“I spent a very difficult seven months at PSG, I was not playing, I was training and going home, so it’s difficult for a player.

Moura’s arrival at Tottenham has given Mauricio Pochettino an entirely different option in forward areas to what he had before, and the north London outfit already seem to be a much stronger outfit because of it.

The Lilywhites are still fighting on three fronts this season, and if they are to be successful in every competition, they will need the Brazilian to be at his scintillating best between now and the end of the campaign.
