Moura, who left Paris Saint-Germain for Tottenham in 2018, struggled to secure playtime last season. He played a lot of time at the beginning of the season, but his position gradually declined following Antonio Conte took over, and he only recorded single-digit appearances at the end of the season.
Nevertheless, he joined the pre-season team and proved his potential. He showed his presence by participating in a pre-season tour in Korea that had just happened.
A full-fledged revival was also announced. Coach Conte foretold Moura’s transformation into a wingback, who had been active as a striker all along, and actually played in the wingback position in the pre-season game, drawing attention.
The commander as well as the players themselves expressed their anticipation for the new season in a new position. Moura said, “I want to help the team. “I am ready to do the best I can for the team and for Conte.”

But at the same time, an uncertain future was hinted at. Moura has only one year left on her contract with Tottenham, which includes the option to extend the pair for another year. With no news of a new contract renewed yet, Hutton has admitted that Moura and Tottenham may be parting.
“All players want to be tied to long-term contracts. I want stability and I want to be able to focus on football.” Especially if you can’t play,” he explained.
“Moura’s future depends on his performance next season,” he said, adding, “Tottenham already have too many players on the front line, so it will be difficult (extension of the contract).”
Son Heung-min (29) and Harry Kane (28), who have already established a new record for the most joint goals in the English Premier League (PL) and have established themselves as the league’s leading attacking duo, are firmly defending the offensive line. Following the signing of Dejan Klushevski (22) in the January transfer window, he strengthened his attack by embracing Rishalisson (25) this summer.
