Worrying report emerges from Italy about Brazil star Lucas Paqueta just months into his West Ham United career.

The 25-year-old Brazilian joined the Hammers from Lyon for around £51 million in the summer transfer window (The Times).

Paqueta’s West Ham career still hasn’t taken off, but his performances for Brazil out in Qatar at the World Cup have made it clear to David Moyes how he needs to be used.

But now a worrying report emerges about star just months into his West Ham career…

The silky South American ace is clearly turning heads out in Qatar.

He played a key role for the Samba Boys during their last-16 win over South Korea out in Qatar on Monday night.

Lucas Paqueta has only been at the London Stadium for three months. And despite the fact that he hasn’t yet set the world alight in the Premier League, he is allegedly already attracting some admirers.

Worrying report emerges about star just months into West Ham career

According to a report from Italian publication CMW, Serie A giants Juventus are keen to sign Lucas Paqueta from the Hammers in the January transfer window.

However, it is suggested by CMW that Adrien Rabiot must be moved on first, before they even contemplate signing the 25-year-old West Ham ace.

I have to say, losing Paqueta having only had him for a few months would be an absolute disaster.

And I’m sure that the West Ham board wouldn’t even contemplate selling him unless they received a monstrous offer for his services, like somewhere in the £80 million plus range.

Juventus won’t be paying anything like that for a player, especially in January, so we shouldn’t have anything to worry about.

Stranger things have happened though haven’t they!

These kind of reports must come from somewhere, and who knows, perhaps it is just the result of agent gossip, in an attempt to unsettle the player.

As the worrying report emerges about star man Paqueta just months into his West Ham career, there will undoubtedly be some concerned Hammers fans between now and the end of the January transfer window.

I’m sure that the Brazilian ace will not be going anywhere anytime soon though.

That said, it will be crucial for Moyes to start getting the best out of Paqueta and his teammates, if he is to keep his best players at the London Stadium for the foreseeable future.
