West Ham are desperate to keep hold of Lucas Paqueta, with ExWHUEmployee providing an update on the situation.

It’s been yet another saga surrounding the Brazil playmaker, with the latest being his desire to leave the club and return to play football in his native Brazil with Flamengo.

Reporting on The West Ham Way exclusively, our club insider has revealed the latest stance from the club, with it hoped he will remain at the club this transfer window.

“We contacted the club today and asked for an update on the Paqueta situation,” stated Ex.

“We asked whether there is a chance he could finally complete his move to Flamengo today and were told:

“Zero chance today. We desperately need him till the end of the season”.

“Whilst it isn’t clear that we will keep him till the end of the season you can see that the club is still reluctant to sell the player.”
