Lucas Moura signs contract extension at Tottenham

Lucas Moura has signed a contract extension with Tottenham, the club has confirmed.

The Brazilian, who joined Spurs from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2018, has signed a one-year extension to his current deal, with his contract now set to expire in 2024.

In the statement the club said that they were 'delighted' to announce the new contract, with the Brazilian extending his stay at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for at least an extra year on top of his original deal.

Moura has scored 16 goals in 60 appearances for Spurs since joining the Lilywhites, with the forward netting a hat-trick as Tottenham came from two goals down to win 3-2 against Ajax in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final back in May.

His heroics in Amsterdam came just a few weeks after he netted a hat-trick as Spurs beat  Huddersfield Town 4-0 in the Premier League in April.

The 26-year-old has proved himself to be a valuable member of Mauricio Pochettino's squad, stepping up on occasion in Harry Kane's absence to play a more advanced role.

And he has now put pen to paper on a deal to extend his stay in north London, having initially signed a five-year deal when he joined the Lilywhites in a £25million deal back in 2018.

Moura, who has been capped 35 times by Brazil, is gearing up for the new Premier League season with Spurs, with Pochettino's men hosting Aston Villa at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow (Saturday).
