Lucas Moura can rejuvenate his flailing career by swapping Paris Saint-Germain for Arsenal in the winter transfer window, claims former Brazil and Chelsea defender Alex.
The flying winger was one of the most sought-after players in world football when he arrived at Parc des Princes in 2012, but has since seen his standing fall to rock bottom.
With just two substitute appearances to show from his season so far, Alex, who moved to PSG in the same year as Lucas, believes he must leave as soon as possible if he is to ever reach his potential, and thinks Arsenal could be the perfect club.

Speaking to L'Equipe, Alex said: 'I would like to see him at Arsenal.
'They play cleaner football, more technical.
'He had contacts, I believe. That would be a good option for him this winter.'

Lucas made a good impression on Arsene Wenger last season after scoring against them
After spending big on Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in the summer, PSG boss Unai Emery appears to have made it clear that he sees no place for Lucas in his team.
With UEFA now investigating them for financial fair play irregularities, the Ligue 1 club are under pressure to balance to books and the 25-year-old is likely to be one of the stars put up for sale.
Whether Arsene Wenger can find a place for him in his Arsenal side is another matter as he is already struggling with a bloated squad, made clear through Jack Wilshere's inability to get into the Premier League side.
The Frenchman will need to find a replacement for Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil when they eventually depart, but it seems unlikely that the diminutive Lucas will be deemed an appropriate choice.
