The paperwork is all complete for West Ham to sign Lucas Paqueta now with a medical scheduled for today in London.
That’s according to a report from Fabrizio Romano who claims that the Hammers want to complete a deal for Paqueta ‘as soon as possible’.

Things really seems to be moving quickly here, and what a signing the Brazilian will be for West Ham.
The Hammers have allegedly agreed a deal to sign the 24-year-old from Lyon in a deal worth around £50 million (The Athletic).
David Moyes has secured a real coup here. West Ham have reportedly beaten Tottenham to his signature!
And it’s surely only a matter of time before we see him holding up the shirt…
Fabrizio Romano drops claims as West Ham close in on Paqueta
It seems as though Paqueta is close to moving to the London Stadium this summer.
This one really did come out of the blue and West Ham are clearly trying to get it done and dusted as soon as possible.
The Italian journalist reckons that the Hammers are closing in on the 25-year-old Brazilian…
We cannot wait until this one is done – what a truly unbelievable signing the Brazilian will be for the football club.
The 33-capped Brazil international is an attacking midfielder by trade but he can also operate on either wing if need be.
The silky left-footed ace has bagged 20 goals and 13 assists in 77 games for Lyon so far. Last season, he racked up 11 goals and seven assists in 44 appearances for the French side (Transfermarkt).
Paqueta possesses exceptional technique, impressive pace and has a real eye for goal and a killer pass.
He seems to have all of the attributes needed to succeed in the Premier League and he has that nasty side on the football pitch that is so quintessentially South American as well.
We think that £50 million for Lucas Paqueta is great value for West Ham. He could end up being one of our best signings of the past couple of decades.
Let’s just hope that there aren’t any late snags!
