Lucas Rodrigues Moura da Silva, known as Lucas Moura, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a right winger for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Brazil national football team.
A quick and mobile winger, who is also powerful, creative, and technically gifted, Moura is known for his explosive acceleration, agility, and pace on the ball, as well as his excellent dribbling skills, in particular his use of trickery and feints, which makes him a dangerous offensive threat.
Moura started his professional career at Sao Paulo where he became one of the best players in the Campeonato Paulista. His pace and dribbling skills garnered attention from numerous European clubs, eventually earning him a transfer to French side Paris Saint-Germain. After spending five years at the club, Moura was then signed by English side Tottenham Hotspur. He was involved in the side reaching their first ever UEFA Champions League final, scoring a historic hat-trick in the second leg of the semi-final of the competition to help Spurs advance.
Moura made his senior international debut for Brazil in 2011 and has since earned over 30 caps, representing the nation at two editions of the Copa America, the 2012 Olympics (where he won a silver medal), and the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, winning the latter title. |
