Spurs have joined in the transfer deadline day by adding pacey attacking winger Lucas Moura from PSG after the Brazilian was also linked to Manchester United and Arsenal in the past month.

Mauricio Pochettino has gone about building an excellent first team at Spurs since taking the job, no one could argue with that, but there's certainly been times when pace has been a problem for the side currently playing at Wembley.

Spurs' unveiling of Moura is like nothing you've ever seen before:

That was no more evident than last weekend when Spurs failed to create enough in their FA Cup draw with League Two side Newport County, with the Welsh side earning a replay.

Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping that the signing of Lucas Moura from PSG will help to alleviate the issues with the Brazilian's pace bringing something different to the forward line.

Moura first came to the attention in Europe as a teenager when Manchester United were linked with a move for him but Sir Alex Ferguson balked at the €45 million that Sao Paulo wanted for the winger.

Instead he moved to PSG and became, at the time, the club's most expensive signing. This had been the 25 year old's sixth season in the French capital and he has won four Ligue 1 titles, three Coupe de Frances and four Coupe de la Ligues with the club.

He made 228 appearances in total for PSG but this season he has made just five appearances in Ligue 1 with the likes of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani, Angel di Maria and Julian Draxler preferred ahead of him.

The Ligue 1 leaders are thought to need raise around £75 million before the end of June if they are to pass UEFA's FFP rules after spending so much money on the signings of Neymar and Mbappe.

Will Moura be a success in the Premier League?
