I think this is an excellent signing and shows that Poch absolutely sees what we see- when Son is not on the pitch, we have no pace or movement, no threat in behind. I reckon he'll be a bit like Son to start, will need to temper our expectations of him, but he'll also create space for others and hopefully has a wavelength with Aurier already.

Just seen Auriers out tonight, that's not good with Martial,or Rashford in prospect.

Apparently Neymar just spoke about Lucas Moura after the match in Paris.

Quotes attached.

Obviously there compatriots but nice to see Neymar rate him very highly.
This is so obviously a “Come and Get Me” plea to us.

Make it happen Danny boy

This transfer was obviously wrapped up yesterday.

I’m sure they leave it till deadline day to announce to appease the fans

PSG defender Marquinhos on team-mate Lucas Moura: "It is good that Lucas is going to Tottenham. He will join Serge Aurier. I hope that he succeeds over there.”

Really excited about this signing - I remember watching Moura when he was a massively hyped young player and he really did look fantastic. PSG's loss is our gain.

For all of the season, I've been thinking about two dire needs to improve the squad (well, three, but I'm trying to turn a leaf and not slate a specific player).
1) A CM upgrade
2) One more player who can score frequently and maybe even score at opportune moments to decide a match in our favour. We basically only have 4 goals scoring players this season, and IMO, a fifth one would increase our top 4 chances a lot.

The fact that we actually may have sorted out one of those two needs according to my personal views, is almost not believable.

Has anyone paused to think back to the close of the summer window when Poch allegedly said Moura wasn't good enough?
Admittedly, everyone is entitled to change an opinion.

Mentioned that a few dozen pages back. Thought it was fishy in the summer. It was itk, but I reckoned they were being fed some spin because the fee PSG were asking for then was much higher than Daniel would accept.
