Tottenham are considering a late move to sign Lucas Paqueta, according to TeamTalk, and the player’s agent is already in London attempting to secure a deal for the Lyon playmaker.
Since joining Lyon from AC Milan in 2020, Paqueta has developed into one of the most highly rated attackers in French football, attracting interest from a host of Premier League clubs including the likes of Spurs, Arsenal, and West Ham.
According to the Express, the Hammers turned down a £34 million bid for the Brazilian attacking midfielder. And TeamTalk has reported that the Ligue 1 club is looking for a deal worth around £50 million. His agents, however, are reportedly looking to secure Paqueta a move to England this summer.
Tottenham have reportedly renewed their pursuit of Lyon playmaker Lucas Paqueta after London rivals West Ham failed to make an offer.
According to the newspaper, Spurs are keen admirers of Paqueta and are considering a late move to bring the attacking midfielder to the north side of the capital before the transfer window closes.
Paqueta’s representatives are already in London, attempting to secure a move before September 1st.
Fabio Paratici has been following the Brazilian for some time and is a known fan. The 24-year-old is one of the best young midfielders in the world and has the potential to be “one of the best in the world.”
Paqueta, who has been labelled as the ‘new Kaka‘, scored 11 goals and assisted seven times in 44 appearances across all competitions last season.
The addition of a No.10 is arguably the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle for Antonio Conte. Tottenham’s last two games have produced far better results than performances, with a lack of creativity being a major issue.
However, Tottenham will almost certainly have to outbid the Hammers to secure their man. Although, they have a significant advantage in that they can offer him Champions League football.
bob , every now and then , the silliest joke just ……………..
Superb!
Unfortunately this window has not improved nothing in the way of moving forward.
We have wasted 60m on richarlison to be frank.
Paqueta or asm or adama would cost 80m for 3?
The Napoli lad gets a Pizza for every goal he scores ..Real man management..
Superb work Bob.
Scored one in 4 in the French League last season and averaged 1 assist every six games.
I would prefer Maddison all day long.
Failing that there is a fella on loan at Napoli who looks quite useful……..
Paqueta every time. Although more expensive than Ziyech, he is four years younger. I doubt CFC would deal with us and why would we buy a Chelsea reserve? Furthermore, there are strong rumours that Ziyech has an attitude problem both for his club and country.
Given that Gibbs-White cost Forest £42.5 million, that Leicester have quoted in excess of £60 million for Maddison and that there are rumours coming out of Spain that Liverpool have bid €90 million for RM’s Valverde,( they really need midfield reinforcements), he might be a good bet for us. I suspect that the Zaniolo story was just that.
Ziyech or Paqueta?🤔
😁We’ll rape everyone on that group..
This guy would be fantastic, but if it’s too good to be true, then it probably isn’t.
I suspect this story is another “yeah, but we tried” MacGuffin
Would be nice he’s a good player coys
Cost a Paqueta ..seems like a good player ..be happy with that..hahahahaha Nurse Nurse…
Great Champions League Draw for Spurs….
the new kaka will be too dear for the bald faka
