Tottenham Hotspur are set to miss out on Paris Saint-Germain outcast Lucas Moura. According to recent reports in the English media, the Brazilian has admitted that he would be willing to play football in Spain this month with growing interest from the Premier League pair of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. The Brazil international has just made six appearances for the Parisian club in this campaign, and the winger has recently revealed that he is ‘not happy’ with his sporadic role under PSG manager Unai Emery. In an interview with a French news outlet, Moura said,
“I believe I’d be well suited to LaLiga, with my speed and my technique.
“I think I could perform well there but the truth is it does not matter where I play as I know I am capable and will work hard.
“I am not disgusted at not being able to play more here and cannot express myself, things have changed this weekend and I’m not happy.”
With Lucas Moura looking set to move to La Liga this month, let’s take a look at three potential alternatives for the Spurs to consider before the winter transfer comes to a close at the end of this month.
Hirving Lozano
The PSV Eindhoven attacker has been in exceptional form this season and has put in some dazzling displays in the Dutch Eredivisie. The 22-year-old Mexican international has scored 13 goals and made 7 assists in 21 appearances for the Dutch club this season in all competitions. He is exactly the kind of talent that Mauricio Pochettino should look for in this transfer window. The youngster has bags of potential and can develop into a star for Tottenham Hotspur in the coming years if the club decides to opt for his services.
Leon Bailey
The Bayer 04 Leverkusen winger has been majestic for his club in this campaign and has lit up the Bundesliga with his performances so far. The 20-year-old Jamaican has scored 9 goals and made 5 assists in 18 matches for the Bundesliga club this term across all competitions. He has the makings of a future star and the North Londoners can look to capitalise on his potential by signing him up this month.
Mikel Oyarzabal
The 20-year-old Spanish winger has featured in 23 matches for Real Sociedad this season and has found the back of the net 8 times and provided 5 assists across all competitions so far. He is another prospect who has the capability to flourish under Pochettino at the Wembley Stadium if the club opts for his signature in the near future.
