“If he refuses…” – West Ham board issue major threat to Lucas Paqueta

A spokesperson for the West Ham United board has warned Lucas Paqueta that he risks a fine if he refuses to train or play for the club.

There is major uncertainty over Paqueta’s West Ham future at the moment, with the Brazil international possibly heading out of the London Stadium this January.

This has been a difficult season for West Ham, so losing a key player like Paqueta seems far from ideal, though at the same time some fans might welcome the sale as he’s not been at his best for some time.
