# Tottenham: Lucas Moura exit ‘could still happen’ out of window

**[Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) winger Lucas Moura’s possible exit ‘could still happen’ out-of-window, says ‘[expert](https://www.footballinsider247.com/expert-lucas-moura-may-still-leave-tottenham-soon-as-phenomenal-verdict-issued/)‘ John Wenham.**

### The Lowdown: Lucas linked with departure…

The Brazilian, who has entered the final few months of his Spurs contract, was linked with a departure in the last transfer window as clubs displayed an interest in January.

Reports claim Lucas was even [offered](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11651527/Tottenham-offer-Lucas-Moura-Everton-winger-set-leave-free-transfer-summer.html) to [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) strugglers Everton as Tottenham potentially aimed to make a small profit on the player before his deal expires.

The 30-year-old has been severely limited for playing time under Antonio Conte this season, playing just [93 minutes in total,](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/92508/Show/Lucas-Moura) with Wenham claiming Spurs can still facilitate his exit.

### The Latest: Lucas exit ‘could still happen’…

Speaking to [Football Insider,](https://www.footballinsider247.com/expert-lucas-moura-may-still-leave-tottenham-soon-as-phenomenal-verdict-issued/) the expert suggests that Tottenham could still sell Lucas as other transfer windows remain open outside of the UK’s.

He explained:

*“The thing to consider is that other transfer windows are still open.*

*“In the past, we have actually moved players on after our own window has shut. That could still happen soon.*

*“Alternatively, he is a good bench option. Is he better than Bryan Gil? Yes, he is. Suddenly now we could be starting games with Rciharlison, Danjuma and Lucas as bench options.”*

### The Verdict: Do it?

The South American winger has been [praised](https://www.spurs-web.com/spurs-news/a-wonderful-person-conte-admits-he-loves-working-with-tottenham-star/) for his contribution by Conte before, especially last season when Lucas even managed better stats than any Spurs player in one regard. According to [WhoScored,](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Archive/England-Tottenham) no Tottenham man averaged more successful take-ons per 90 than the former Paris-Saint Germain star over 2021/2022.

He often put in [good displays](https://tothelaneandback.com/2021/12/26/tottenham-hotspur-boss-antonio-conte-praises-the-brazilian-connection-between-emerson-royal-and-lucas-moura/) when given a chance and we believe Lucas could still have a role to play under Conte before the conclusion of this season.

Called a [‘team player’](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2021/february/jose-s-praise-for-team-player-lucas/) by former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho, that is certainly what Spurs need right now as they chase a second-consecutive top four finish.

The attacker has already etched himself into Spurs history with a stunning Champions League semi-final hat-trick in 2019, but perhaps it could be time for one last hurrah before his departure on a Bosman.
