West Ham United are ‘considering abandoning’ their plan to only sell Lucas Paqueta at the end of the season, amid Flamengo continuing talks to try to obtain a more favourable deal.

Paqueta has made clear to West Ham that he wants to move on this month and a return to Brazil with Flamengo is what he favours.

For the Hammers, letting a key player such as Paqueta go while in the middle of a Premier League relegation battle is a risk and they have been firmly opposed to doing it.
