Soon-to-be free agent Lucas Moura of Tottenham Hotspur is being pursued by Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Brazilian moved to Spurs in January 2018 for £23 million from Paris Saint-Germain (BBC). He entered with a lot of anticipation, but after just 38 goals in 219 games, it is clear that his performance there has been disappointing.
Lucas, who Emerson Royal called a “incredible” player, is expected to leave Tottenham this summer, and according to Torcedores, three Premier League teams have already started negotiations to sign him.
Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Wolves start talks to sign Lucas Moura from Tottenham
It has been clear for a while now that Tottenham will not renew Lucas Moura‘s contract when it expires at the end of this season. He is expected to leave the club after five-and-a-half years there.
Brazilian giants Flamengo are reportedly keen to sign Lucas this summer, but the 30-year-old wants to spend a few more years here in Europe. That rules out a return to Brazil.
Clubs like Roma, Lazio and Marseille are said to be considering signing him, but three Premier League sides have already made contact with Lucas’ representatives over a summer move – Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, Eddie Howe’s Newcastle and Julen Lopetegui’s Wolves.
Villa and Newcastle will both be in Europe next season and Lucas’ experience is probably why they’re both looking to sign him this summer.
Whether the Brazilian would be keen to stay in the Premier League remains to be seen.

Lucas’ campaign has been a season to forget, according to.
Injury problems have plagued the Brazilian for a long time. Due to this, he has only played a little over 115 minutes of Premier League football so far this season, and his last touch of the ball in a game last week when he assisted Diogo Jota’s winning goal proved to be fatal.
The wisest thing for everyone would be to move on this summer, because both Aston Villa and Newcastle United are rising organizations. They’d be excellent choices for Lucas.
It will be intriguing to see what happens this summer with the Brazilian.
