Tottenham Hotspur are said to be big admirers of PSG winger Lucas Moura.

Lucas Moura #7 of Paris Saint-Germain is pursued by Moustapha Seck #27 of AS Roma during the second half at Comerica Park on July 19, 2017 in Detroit, Michigan.

Lucas Moura’s comments to L’Equipe, surely suggest that Tottenham Hotspur have a chance of landing the PSG man this month.

Moura has been heavily linked with Spurs throughout January, with Mauricio Pochettino believed to be a fan of the Brazilian winger.

And Moura’s comments on his future yesterday suggest that he is looking for a way out at PSG.

“It’s a brutal blow,” Moura said. “I’m gutted that I’m no longer playing, to no longer be able to express myself as I was doing before.

“I’m not happy. I thought I’d built something solid with this club, but that’s clearly not the case.”

The Daily Mirror claim that PSG will demand £35 million for Moura, who has fallen out of favour entirely.

If Tottenham did bring Moura to North London it would be an exciting addition for Pochettino’s side to make.

Tottenham have generally signed up-and-coming talents, but Moura is proven at Champions League level and would improve their attacking options.

Spurs are yet to make a signing in the January transfer window, but are thought to have money to spend.

Spurs have a history of being from Ligue 1, but Moura would be the highest profile addition that they have made from France in recent times.
