He was recruited to play professionally by Milton Cruz, who had gained a following at the youth level.

He appeared only as a replacement six times for the club in the 2017-18 Ligue 1 season, and then resigned in January 2018.

Moura agreed to a Tottenham Hotspur transfer fee of around £25 million on January 31, 2018.

Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona lost 1–1, bringing Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona together in the knockout stage. In the 4–0 victory over Huddersfield Town on April 13, he scored a hat-trick. This was his first hat-trick in Europe and the first hat-trick scored at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In Tottenham's 3–2 victory over Ajax in the second leg of their Champions League semi-finals on May 8, 2019, Moura scored a second half hat-trick. Spurs came back from 2–0 down on the night and 3–0 down on aggregate to win on away goals. For the first time in history, his team advanced to the Champions League final in the 96th minute. Because of his success, L'Équipe gave him a perfect 10 rating, making him the tenth player to be given a ten rating by them.
