Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino says Lucas Moura was too good a deal to turn down
Brazilian winger is set to join Spurs in a £25m switch after he was frozen out at PSG
MAURICIO POCHETTINO believes signing Lucas Moura is too good an opportunity to turn down.
Tottenham’s boss is set to seal a £25million deal for the winger after he was frozen out by Paris Saint-Germain.
Brazilian Lucas, 25, joined PSG from Sao Paolo for £33.5m in 2013 but has made just six sub appearances this season.

Poch knows Tottenham could not afford that but said: “We are a club where we sign opportunities.
