One national newspaper claims the Tottenham Hotspur winger could be sold as Spurs chase Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha.
Tottenham Hotspur fans are reacting on Twitter to fresh reports that their club hopes to sign Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha ahead of next week’s transfer deadline – and is ready to offload Serge Aurier and Lucas Moura to do so.
The Sun claims Tottenham are prepared to top Chelsea’s failed Zaha bid, of £30 million plus Danny Drinkwater, by offering a deal worth a potential £45 million plus a sell-on clause.
And the newspaper adds that Real Betis have already enquired about Moura, who only moved to Spurs from Paris Saint-Germain in January.
The £25 million Brazilian has only made a limited impact so far, but is being tipped to shine in his first full season in England given his impressive recent form.
And it is that particular claim that some Tottenham supporters are struggling to get their heads around.
This is what they’re saying…

OC Spurs @OCSpurs1882 “The Sun claiming we’re looking to sell Lucas Moura this summer. That’s right, Lucas Moura. Just pack in the whole thing and dissolve. There isn’t a barrel left on God’s green Earth that hasn’t been scraped beyond salvage by that *** rag pic.twitter.com/zvRJJPFFeM”
Joe @dontduckup: “@steffenfreund3 @TheSun lolol thats the ********* fake rumour ive seen so far. anybody with a brain can see he hasn’t had enough time to settle. He’ll be great this season I think”
Could – and should – Tottenham consider selling Moura to fund a move for the Crystal Palace star?
