Brazilian Giants Working On Lucas Paqueta Deal, West Ham Open To Exit

Brazilian giants Flamengo have opened talks with West Ham United about a potential deal to sign Lucas Paqueta.

The midfielder is battling against allegations of betting rule breaches and Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui recently claimed he is suffering.

A mooted move to Manchester City collapsed in the wake of the charges and no hearing date has been set yet.

Paqueta is currently in action at the Copa America with Brazil, but what his future might look like at the London Stadium is unclear.
