West Ham have submitted a £33.7m bid for Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta.

Paqueta has been heavily linked with a move away from Lyon this summer and has also been targeted by Arsenal.

He would become West Ham’s eighth new signing of the summer but only the second addition to their midfield after Flynn Downes.
David Moyes has also bolstered his defence with goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, centre-back pair Nayef Aguerd and Thilo Kehrer and full-back Emerson Palmieri, while Gianluca Scamacca and Maxwel Cornet have arrived in attack.
Paqueta is a 33-cap Brazil international who is set to feature at the World Cup in Qatar after being part of the squad that won the Copa America in 2019.

He has spent the last two seasons at Lyon after signing from AC Milan in 2020 and has three years left on his contract.
The 25-year-old is best suited to the number 10 role, but can also play wide on the right or as a centre forward.
In 80 appearances for Lyon, Paqueta has contributed 21 goals and 14 assists.
