Tottenham have an advantage over rivals in Lucas Moura pursuit.
Tottenham Hotspur are serious contenders to sign Lucas Moura, according to French outlet Telefoot.
The Brazilian scored 18 goals last season and is in demand after being told he can leave after falling out of favour since Neymar’s arrival.
Several teams are interested in £35 million rated Lucas Moura including Napoli, but Tottenham have an ace up their sleeve for the winger’s signature.
This is right-back Serge Aurier, who Tottenham signed from Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
Not only are contacts well established between the two clubs, Lucas and Aurier are pals, having linked up regularly on the right flank for PSG.
This is a relationship which could blossom for Spurs and help the Brazilian settle instantly if Tottenham can win the race to sign him.
Aurier would even be able to give his old teammate a nudge in order to try and persuade him North London should be his next step.
