Spurs keeping tabs on Moura

-

Tottenham are maintainin­g a watching brief on Lucas Moura from PSG who has been told to find a new club.

Mauricio Pochettino's prime targets include Malcom at Bordeaux and Ryan Sessgnon at Fulham, though both are more likely for the summer.

Moura burst onto the scene in Ligue 1 when he joined PSG from Sao Paulo in 2013.

The lively winger impressed with his trickery and ability to beat a man but has fallen out of favour.

Given Unai Emery's rich attacking resources, there is no longer room for the 25-year-old at the Parisian club.

Moura became PSG's most expensive signing in history at £38 million (RM210 million) when he moved from Brazil.

He has 36 caps for the national team and Spurs will continue to monitor his situation.

Meanwhile, Newcastle announced the loan signing of Chelsea winger Kenedy until the end of the season on Tuesday,

The Premier League outfit, who are looking to maintain their status in the top flight come the end of the season, announced the signing of Kenedy with a short video on their Twitter page.

Manager Rafa Benitez has got his hands on a player he courted during the summer as he looks to add pace and invention to the fight for Premier League safety.

The loan move was helped along by Chelsea's imminent purchase of left back Emerson Palmieri, who is expected to join from Roma in the coming days.

Kenedy has made five senior appearance­s for Chelsea this season, all of them in the domestic cup competitio­ns.

The 21-year-old will not be eligible to play against his parent club on Sunday in the FA Cup, but he could make his Newcastle debut against Burnley at St James' Park next week.
