Arsenal, who are currently leading the Premier League, are reportedly interested in signing Lucas Paqueta from West Ham United during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Brazilian joined West Ham in 2022 for a record fee of £51 million, despite Arsenal’s interest at the time. Although he has only just started to show his potential for the Hammers, there are rumors that Arsenal may make a move for him soon.
Lucas Paqueta, who is 25 years old, has been playing well for West Ham and is beginning to settle into the team.
However, reports suggest that he is now attracting interest from Arsenal and Newcastle United.
Both clubs are said to be willing to spend around £61.5 million to sign him before the start of the next season.
However, some believe that these rumors are unfounded, and West Ham is unlikely to sell him unless they are relegated.
Despite the interest from other clubs, many believe that West Ham will not sell Paqueta so quickly after signing him unless they are relegated.
He is just starting to show his potential and is a crucial player for the team. Even if David Moyes is no longer in charge by the summer, whoever takes over will likely want to keep him as he has a lot to offer the team.
Therefore, if Arsenal or Newcastle make a bid for Paqueta during the summer transfer window, West Ham is unlikely to sell him if they remain in the Premier League.
