Tottenham winger Lucas Moura is set to leave this summer with proposals flooding in from all over the globe for his signing.
The Lowdown: Spurs contract expiring…
The 30-year-old, who became a cult hero at Spurs after his Champions League semi-final hat-trick against Ajax in 2019, could well be on the way out soon.
Lucas has been used sparingly by manager Antonio Conte this season, especially in the Premier League, with there being no sign of a renewal as things stand.
The Brazilian has been linked with a few top clubs and reports from the Americas now detail just how in demand he is.
The Latest: Lucas in demand…
According to Goal Brasil and journalist Raul Moura on Twitter, Lucas is indeed ‘leaving Tottenham’, co-writing in his report that there are many ‘proposals’ on the table.
He is a wanted man in as many as six different divisions with clubs from the England, Ligue 1, Italian Serie A, MLS (Major League Soccer), Saudi Arabia and Qatar all registering their interest.
The Verdict: Great servant…
Called a ‘superhero‘ for his Champions League exploits by ex-manager Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs supporters may miss the South American when he departs.
As per WhoScored, he still very much had his uses for Conte last season, averaging more successful take-ons per 90 than any Tottenham player last season.
It is hardly a surprise Lucas is now wanted all over the world, especially given his proven ability to perform on the big stages and make an impact.
This could be the last big move of his career and it will be very interesting to see where he goes next.
