The 25-year-old recently made it very clear to the Hammers boss that he prefers playing in the middle of the park rather than the number 10 position, so that he can be more involved in the game in general.

We are now starting to see the best of the talented Brazilian – he is becoming a vital player for West Ham.

And something that he did yesterday for the Hammers against Man United really was outstanding…

Lucas Paqueta did something that made David Moyes give him a standing ovation

The former Lyon man was exceptional for West Ham at the London Stadium last night, and played a key role in our victory.

And Paqueta showcased an unbelievable piece of skill against Manchester United that clearly wowed his manager:

West Ham boss David Moyes signed Lucas Paqueta from Lyon for a club record £51 million fee in the summer (The Times).

During the early stages of the season, it seemed like the Hammers had massively overspent on the South American.

However, he now looks like an absolute star. He has clearly accustomed to the ferocious pace of Premier League football, and he’ll surely continue to get better and better from here on out.

What an incredible player we have on our hands. The challenge for Paqueta now will be to show a level of consistency and produce the goods for the Hammers over a sustained period of time.
