Newcastle United have been offered the chance to sign Brazilian international Lucas Moura.
Moura will leave Tottenham Hotspur after their final game of the season at Leeds on Sunday after making 18 appearances for the London club this term. Chronicle Live understands there has been contact between the 30-year-old's representatives and the Magpies but no offer has been made yet by United.
Moura is thought to be open to the idea of linking up with Brazilian stars Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes and is close with skipper Kieran Trippier from their Spurs days. Both Moura and Trippier were in the Spurs team that made it to the Champions League final when the South American bagged a hat-trick in Holland.

The Magpies are currently holding high-level talks and are whittling down their list after qualifying for the Champions League. Moura certainly has the experience and know-how to take forward next season and his wage demands could fit into the salary structure planned by the Magpies.
Sevilla and AS Roma are also keen in Moura as he looks to land the final big money move of his career. Moura was in tears after saying goodbye to Tottenham fans after the 3-1 defeat to Brentford.
Moura said: "Now, we keep going and wait for the next challenge. It’s difficult to say more… I’ve already cried a lot. I will keep every moment in my heart - and I will be back."
