West Ham boss David Moyes praised new signing Lucas Paqueta when speaking to reporters this afternoon.
The Scot brought the 25-year-old to the London Stadium from Lyon for around £51 million in the summer transfer window (The Sun).

Paqueta already looks like he will be a superb signing for the Hammers.
He is an incredible footballer and possesses exceptional technical ability.
The Brazilian should make a real difference for us in the final third and he will undoubtedly help us improve upon the fluidity of our play when we’re attacking as a team.
David Moyes has noticed something else about the ex-Lyon ace that has really impressed him though…
Lucas Paqueta has really impressed at West Ham already
The Brazilian has only played two games for the Hammers so far – at home to Tottenham and away at Chelsea.
The 25-year-old has shown enough already for us to think that he will go on to be a huge success at the London Stadium.
And Moyes shared a really good sign that he’s noticed about Paqueta, as quoted by Football.London:
“He tackled and worked really hard for the team. Really good sign. He looks a robust player. Playing record is pretty good in terms of injuries.”
Paqueta seems to be ideally suited to the physical nature of Premier League football.
£51 million for the Brazilian will undoubtedly look like great value for the Hammers in the end.
Lucas Paqueta will make a massive difference for West Ham this season.
It still feels kind of surreal that we actually managed to sign him!
