Man City Desperate To Sign Star Midfielder After Missing Out On Declan Rice

Manchester City are interested in West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta.

The Brazilian joined the Hammers from Lyon for £36.5m last summer and was instrumental in the club winning the Europa Conference League.

City have made an initial approach to the Hammers but are yet to make a bid.

It is possible they will test West Ham’s resolve as Pep Guardiola looks to bolster his squad after last season’s Treble success and the departures of Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez.

West Ham do not want to sell and will be reluctant to lose another key figure in David Moyes’ squad following Declan Rice’s £105m move to Arsenal.
