Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly close to their first signing of the January transfer window with Mauricio Pochettino looking to bolster his star-studded squad.

According to reports from The Mirror (printed edition; 27/01/2017 – page 65), Spurs are hoping to land Brazilian winger/forward Lucas Moura this weekend, for a fee in the region of £22 million.

A host of European clubs including Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla have expressed an interest, but Moura has been keen on moving to the Premier League.

Liverpool have also been reportedly interested for Moura this month, but it seems that he is heading towards north London instead.

Reports mention that Spurs have shown him their Enfield training ground ahead of talks over a move.

The 25-year-old has dropped down the pecking order at the club, and he is surplus to requirements at Paris Saint-Germain, with Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Angel Di Maria and Julian Draxler all ahead of him.

The Brazilian winger, who has 36 international caps under his belt, has not played in the Champions League this season for PSG, which is a huge bonus for Spurs.

Matching his wages won’t be a problem either. Getting a player of his ability at a decent price only reflects a superb piece of business from Daniel Levy.
