LUCAS MOURA is set to leave Tottenham on a free at the end of the season as his contract will not be renewed, according to reports.
The Brazilian winger signed for the club five years ago and played a key role in Spurs reaching the 2019 Champions League final.
But he has seen his role reduce under Antonio Conte following the arrival of Dejan Kulusevski last year.
Injury has also limited Moura to just two starts this season.
And Tottenham have decided not to activate the option in his contract to extend his stay by another year, report The Telegraph.
That means he will be available on a free transfer in the summer, though Spurs are open to offers for him this month.

He is also believed to have said no to Newcastle but is now free to agree a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs.
Sao Paulo have also been linked with a move to Moura and the forward is believed keen on a return to his childhood team.
