£50m offer has given West Ham massive chance to sign brilliant £67M star

West Ham have been handed a huge boost in their bid to try and sign Lyon star Lucas Paqueta this summer

The Hammers have been doing some decent transfer business this summer and are just one of a number of clubs that have showed an interest in trying to sign Brazilian Paqueta this summer

And although The Hammers interest in the player has wavered in recent weeks – there is still a lot of speculation in the media that he could come over to the Premier League

Arsenal are also reportedly in the chase to sign the player as Edu is a massive fan of the midfielder – but if you believe the latest reports in the media – they may have switched their attentions

As it has been claimed that Arsenal have reportedly made their moves into trying to sign Wolves star Pedro Neto this transfer window – meaning that they would no longer require the services of Paqueta

There has been so much speculation and rumours about the man that many West Ham fans do not know if he will get signed or not

He has had one good season over in French football – so spending £67 million on him cannot really be justified, can it?

But if Arsenal do manage to get Neto this summer – then that will give The Hammers the green light to try and get a deal done for Paqueta -and he would be a very good addition to that Hammers squad

So, it will now be interesting to see just how this all plays out
