Rating the top 10 January 2018 transfers and their progress in one year

#5 Lucas Moura (PSG to Tottenham)

Harry Kane out injured, Son-Heung Min unavailable, Dele Alli doubtful for the next game. In situations like Spurs are facing now, they can turn to Lucas Moura without hesitation.

Lucas Moura joined the Spurs from PSG for €28.4 million in the last winter transfer window. Lack of playing time at PSG would have been the main reason behind his move but he did not get any playing time in Tottenham either.

However, he was patient and has played over 1300 minutes in the league. Not only has he played for this much amount of time, but his performances are also up to the mark with his teammates.

He has scored six goals this season. He is not much of a playmaker though. He has only 0.9 key passes per game and has no assists.

But despite not being the best of passes, he is a great contributor even in the defence. He averages one tackle and one interception per game.

He helps Mauricio Pochettinho's style of changing the starting 11 regularly. When Son Heung-Min or Dele Alli need a rest, Lucas Moura can be put right into the attacking midfield position, left, right or center.

Moura has also started as a center forward this season. He has shown exceptional performances, notably against United in the 3-0 win and against Barcelona in the 1-1 draw.

Moura has shown that he has the quality to start and succeed in Tottenham. We can expect him to improve over time. He has fulfilled the purpose he was bought for, add depth and perform well.

Rating: 7.5/10

Verdict: A star apart from the fab-four was Tottenham's requirement. We can even call the forwards as fab-five now. Moura has fit right into the team.
