Lucas Moura is the favourite to replace Neymar, and he could earn himself a 3rd Copa America call-up. He was a part of the tournament in 2011 and 2016 as well. He was superb for Tottenham Hotspur this season and carried them to the Champions League final. He scored a sensational hat-trick against Ajax in the UCL semi-final to set-up a final for Spurs with Liverpool.

Lucas Moura has great speed and can run past opposition defenders with ease. He can play in a variety of attacking positions, which makes him a tempting option. He scored 15 goals and assisted twice in 49 games this season. The 26-year-old was unlucky to miss out on the 23 man squad. However, he could still be a part of the tournament as he is most likely to replace Neymar.
