Arsenal are being linked with a move for PSG’s Lucas Moura.
According to ESPN, Arsenal have joined the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura, and want to take him on loan for the rest of the season.
The Gunners hammered Crystal Palace 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon, but face a frantic last 10 days of the transfer window as Alexis Sanchez prepares to join Manchester United.
Arsene Wenger is lining up Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to come in, but he could yet make another attacking addition having allowed Theo Walcott to join Everton earlier this week.
ESPN now report that Arsenal are interested in snapping up Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura, with the Gunners eyeing up a loan deal whilst PSG would rather sell this month.
Moura, 25, was a burgeoning young star in his native Brazil with Sao Paulo, where his 33 goals in 128 games saw him earn a big move to PSG in 2012, joining up with the French giants in 2013.
Whilst he hit 18 goals in all competitions last season, the arrivals of both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have pushed Moura down the pecking order, and he hasn’t even started a league game this season.
Arsenal could now move for the speedster, amid claims from UOL Esporte in Brazil that Tottenham are set to hijack them and secure a £44million deal for Bordeaux talent Malcom this month.
Tottenham themselves are keen on Moura, according to Telefoot in France, but it seems that they are prioritising Arsenal target Malcom instead, leaving the Gunners to weigh up Moura.
