Tottenham Hotspur are expected to complete the signing of PSG winger Lucas Moura in the near future.

Lucas Moura #7 of Paris Saint-Germain tries to break away from Radja Nainggolan #4 of AS Roma during the second half at Comerica Park on July 19, 2017 in Detroit, Michigan.

According to a report in Esporte Interativo, Tottenham Hotspur target Lucas Moura has said goodbye to his teammates at PSG.

Moura has been in London since Thursday, with PSG giving the winger permission to speak to Spurs.

Moura has now met with Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, with a deal close to completion.

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

The only complication in the transfer is that Spurs want to take Moura on loan, with a view to buying him at the end of the season.

PSG, however, want to offload Moura on a permanent deal and expect to receive around £20 million for the winger.

Despite their differences currently, Tottenham and PSG are still expected to arrange a deal in the near future.

Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) Brazilian midfielder Lucas Moura poses for a photograph at the Camp des Loges training centre in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, west of Paris, on February 08, 2017.

Moura has struggled for game time with the French champions this season, due to the addition of Neymar.

The Brazilian though is clearly expecting to leave, after saying farewell to his teammates at PSG.

If Moura is brought to Spurs he will become their first signing of the January transfer window, and significantly strengthen Pochettino’s side’s attacking options.
