Tottenham Champions League hero pens new deal

 

Tottenham striker Lucas Moura has put pen to paper on a new contract until 2024, the club has announced. 

 

The Brazilian has been at the club for 18 months following his arrival from PSG and was one of seven players to score a hat-trick in the Champions League last season, doing so in Tottenham’s 3-2 win at Ajax in the semi-final. 

 

“We are delighted to announce that Lucas Moura has signed a new contract with the Club until 2024,” a statement read on the club’s official website. 

 

“The Brazil international wrote his name into Club history when he netted an incredible second-half hat-trick during our UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg at Ajax in May to secure a last-gasp victory and send us through to the final.  It was his second hat-trick for the Club, having also hit three against Huddersfield Town at our new stadium a month earlier. 

 

 

“He began last season, his first full campaign for the Club, in excellent form by scoring three times in August, including two in our 3-0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford, to earn himself the Premier League's EA SPORTS Player of the Month. 

 

Lucas joined us in January, 2018, from Paris Saint-Germain and marked his full debut for the Club with a goal in our FA Cup tie against Rochdale. In total, he has made 60 appearances for us in all competitions so far and scored 16 times.”
