Tottenham Hotspur have extra reason to want to sign Brazilian winger Lucas Moura.

The Telegraph report Lucas is eligible to play for the club in the Champions League knockout rounds which begin next month.

This is thanks to Paris Saint-Germain’s harsh treatment of the 25-year-old this season; he has not played in the Champions League group stages.

This means Tottenham are able to add him to their squad, a major boost for club and player.

Lucas has considerable experience in the Champions League, he has made 38 appearances in the competition for PSG in his career.

He managed to score three goals and provide five assists, an admittedly modest record, but two of these assists came against Barcelona and Arsenal.

Lucas went on a tour of Tottenham’s training ground yesterday and is keen to join Tottenham, although no fee has been agreed between the clubs.

PSG want £22 million for the winger, with Spurs yet to submit an offer which meets that demand.
