Tottenham Hotspur are heavily linked with PSG star Lucas Moura.
Speaking to ESPN, Steve Nicol has backed Tottenham Hotspur’s reported pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain winger Lucas Moura.
The Brazil international looks to be closing in on a move to Tottenham after The Sun reported this past weekend that a £25 million deal had been agreed between them and PSG.
If it materialises then it will be Spurs’ first and potentially last bit of business in the January transfer window, which closes on Wednesday.
And Liverpool legend Nicol believes it’ll be a “decent move” and especially if the £25 million transfer fee is accurate.
He told ESPN: “There’s no question that Moura has talent and for £25 million that’s a steal in today’s market for a guy who could kick on and become the player we all think he can be. I think it would be a decent move.”
Lucas has lost his way in the French capital in recent seasons and blockbuster moves for Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have seen him become far less important to the Ligue 1 giants.
Nevertheless, he remains a very decent talent and one who should elevate Tottenham as Mauricio Pochettino’s side compete for the FA Cup and Champions League, as well as a top-four finish.
