The officialization should not be delayed any longer, it is now the case … Lucas Paqueta leaves Olympique Lyonnais and joins West Ham! The transfer would be around 60 million euros. The Brazilian has signed a 5-year contract.
As expected for a few days, Lucas Paqueta rejoint West Ham for the next 5 seasons! The Hammers made the news official on Monday night. The amount of the transfer of the former Milanese is estimated at 60 million euros, after several offers sent and days of negotiations. This is a big boost for Londoners after Nayef Aguerd (35 million euros) or even Thilo Kherer (25 million euros).
Born in Brazil, but now East London is his home.

If he hasn’t won anything trophy-wise with theOlympique Lyonnais, Lucas Paqueta was the best player in this squad since the departure of Memphis Depay. The attacking midfielder played more than 80 encounters with the Lyon tunic, for 21 goals and 14 assists. His profile will be missed by Les Gones, he who showed above-average technique and vista.
