West Ham United sign Brazil international Lucas Paqueta for club-record fee

West Ham have confirmed the club-record signing of Brazil midfielder Lucas Paqueta from Lyon.

The 25-year-old has signed an initial five-year contract at the London Stadium with a one-year option as manager David Moyes adds strength to his attacking options.

The Hammers have scored just once in their opening four Premier League games, Pablo Fornals getting the winning goal in Sunday's 1-0 victory at Aston Villa.

"I am extremely happy to be here. I hope it’s the beginning of an enjoyable journey. I hope my time here is successful," said Paqueta.

"Last season, West Ham had a very good season and I hope they continue to enjoy more and more good seasons in my time at the club."

Born in Brazil, but now East London is his home. Bem-vindo, @LucasPaqueta97!
