Brazilian winger Moura signs contract extension with PSG


Brazil international Lucas Moura has signed a two-year extension at Paris St Germain, keeping him at the Ligue 1 champions through to 2019.
The 22-year-old winger joined PSG in January 2013 and has already won eight trophies - including three consecutive league titles - during a prolific few years on the domestic front for the Parisians.
So far Laurent Blanc's men have been unable to translate their success in the French top flight to the Champions League, but Lucas expects that to change.
"I am very happy. For me, playing here is a source of great pride. I hope to continue helping my team win more and more trophies. My dream is to become a part of the club's history," he told the club's website.
"I hope that we keep on winning and that, next season, we win the Champions League. That's a main aim now."
After a year in which PSG achieved an unprecedented quadruple in France by adding the Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue and Trophee des Champions to the Ligue 1 crown, club president Nasser Al Khelaifi feels keeping hold of Lucas is a statement of intent.
"I think extending Lucas Moura's contract is a very significant moment. He is a forward whose technique and speed have thrilled our supporters since he joined us from Sao Paulo," he said.
"Young players are very important for our project. Lucas has become a crowd favourite thanks to his talent and also his personality. I am very proud that this, with such a huge potential, will be sporting the club's colours in France and in Europe for a long time to come."
