And he has now been showed around Spurs' impressive Enfield base, with PSG keen to strike a deal in their attempt to meet Financial Fair Play requirements.

Spurs' boss Mauricio Pochettino and chairman Daniel Levy are keen on a deal, which could be agreed as an initial loan.

Bordeaux's Malcom is another Samba star on Spurs' radar, but Bordeaux value him at £40m and Spurs want to pay £25m.

But a deal for Lucas now appears more likely after Poch met the 36-cap international.

Manchester United also showed an interest in Lucas before swooping for Alexis Sanchez.

But SunSport was told a move to the north west was unlikely after Angel Di Maria's wife warned Lucas' partner about the WEATHER.

United tried to get Moura in 2012.

But they were beaten by PSG, who signed him from Sao Paulo for £38m.

Moura has played 212 times for PSG, scoring 44 goals and winning the Ligue 1 title four times.

Last season he hit 19 goals in 52 games. Yet he has not started a match this season, managing just six substitute appearances.

He has already been in discussion with Chinese side Beijing Guoan but prefers a move to England.

Earlier this month Lucas said: "I do not think I’m going to stay.

"Unfortunately, it’s the end for me in Paris. I like the English championship.

"The English league is the most hotly contested in the world, it’s going to depend (on several factors)."
