Flamengo would only be able to sign Lucas Paqueta from West Ham United if the Hammers were to significantly drop their asking price for the midfielder.

The Hammers are in serious trouble this term, as they currently sit third bottom in the Premier League table and are doomed in the view of one former top flight star.

On Tuesday night, West Ham lost 2-1 against Nottingham Forest, who came back to win against the Irons after a first-half Murillo own goal.
