Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Lucas Paqueta, according to Football.London.
Arsenal and Newcastle are among the other clubs linked with the Brazilian playmaker this summer, with French club Lyon facing an obvious battle to keep him.
Spurs have been tracking Paqueta for some time, according to football.london (h/t Evening Standard), with recent reports suggesting that he could be allowed to leave for as little as £33 million.
Paqueta joined Lyon from AC Milan in 2020. Since then, the 24-year-old has cemented his place in the French squad. He is one of the best young midfielders in the world and has the potential to become ‘one of the best in the world’.
Last season, the Brazilian international scored 10 goals in 42 appearances for Lyon across all competitions. If he signs for Spurs, he will join Yves Bissouma as the club’s new midfielder.
For Conte, the priority right now is an attacking midfielder to add that creative spark to the team which could be the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle for the Italian. Will they be able to sign one before the window shuts?
Book him Dano. Superb technical ability. Brilliant player.
FYI, Paqueta is an attacking midfielder. I suggest you do your research.
