Lucas Moura has spoken of his delight at joining PSG and believes he will be playing alongside one of the best forwards in world football in Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The São Paulo star signed off with a goal in the Copa Sudamericana final as he completed his swansong with a trophy and is now set to move to French giants PSG for a fee of €45m.

The playmaker cited playing alongside Ibrahimovic as one of the best parts of the move: “He’s one of the best forwards in the world. It’s always great to play alongside players of that calibre,” Lucas told L’Equipe.

“I’m going to learn by playing alongside him, that’s for certain. I hope that the two of us will form a great duo.”

Lucas reflected back on his career at São Paulo and says he is looking forward to the move: “Even if I tried to focus on the end of my adventure with Sao Paulo, it was inevitable that I think about what’s going to happen, what my life will be like in Paris, where I’m going to live.

“I imagine everything will be very different, but I’m convinced that it’ll be a marvellous experience, both professionally and personally. I’m a little anxious, but I can’t wait to get there.”
