The Premier League continues to throw the house out the window and continues to be talked about in this transfer market. This time, it is West Ham United who signed Brazilian winger Lucas Paquetá for four seasons in exchange for $25 million dollars to strengthen its squad for the current campaign that is beginning.
The footballer of 25 years, comes from being part of Olympique de Lyon where he once again became one of the best footballers of the moment and with a huge projection with a view to earning a place in Tite’s squad for the Qatar World Cup 2022.
His landing in England means a lot to West Ham United, as they once gave him the responsibility of wearing the number eleven behind him in a team that has only been able to get a win in four games.
For the man born in Rio de Janeiro, this will be his third club in football on the old continent, since AC Milan was the one in charge of signing him when he showed his talent in football in his country with Flamengo.
With Lyon, he shook the nets on 21 occasions and distributed 14 assists in 80 matches played in a League of France that meant to be the ideal so that it could exploit its performance; all this after disappearing in Serie A.
“When you speak the language of football you can speak to the world. A dribble with the ball is easy to understand, but when you love the game, the passion, the courage, the pain. That doesn’t need words to describe. I will give everything I have because that is who I am. I am Lucas Paquetá. Let’s start”, commented the Brazilian in his presentation video.
In this way, the Premier League continues to be filled with players who promise to show all their talent. In addition to making clear again the economic power they have to sign great players regardless of the transfer amount.
