Oh, and Vanaken is an attacking midfielder.
If he isn't good enough to play in the Belgian top flight then I doubt he's ready to play in the Premier League Last I heard Lyon have rejected our £42m bid so he's not signing
#Paquet up, paquet in, let me begin
#Jump around!
Lyon have rejected West Ham's €40m offer for midfielder Lucas Paqueta.
Talks are ongoing between the clubs.
West Ham are expected to go back in with an improved offer.
West Ham are close to agreeing a deal worth €50m including add-ons with Lyon for Lucas Paqueta, after having their initial €40m offer rejected.
Sources close to the player say they are 'confident' that a deal is nearing a conclusion.
#Bazqueta case
South American football expert Tim Vickery:
"Lucas Paqueta is a very classy player. He'd be a wonderful asset to West Ham and to the Premier League because he has real left-footed class. He is an elegant attacking midfielder. He's so versatile. I've seen him playing for Brazil and fill three different positions in the same game reasonably well.
"He's really an attacking midfielder but he can also play up front. You can play him as a withdrawn winger, and deeper in midfield - although there is a problem there as sometimes he can give the ball away too close to his own goal because he's showboating.
"This is the one potential problem with him, which is why he's being linked with West Ham having not quite hit the expectations at AC Milan.
"There is a little bit of the petulant schoolboy about him. It would be a challenge of man-management for David Moyes. When you look at Brazil, he's an automatic choice. He has a sweet thing going with Neymar. The pair of them are on the same wavelength and if he can form some kind of similar relationship with those around him at West Ham, he can be a real asset to the club."
"Lucas Paqueta has been offered to all the clubs in the Premier League. Lyon are open to selling and he wants to move here. At the moment it is West Ham bidding for him though. One offer has been rejected and they are expected to follow up with another, according to our reporter Dharmesh Sheth.
Those 63 minutes in the cup vs Bolton bring back fond memories?
Unless, that is, he's as good as Payet (£10.7 million)
There’s no full agreement between West Ham and OL for Lucas Paquetá after new round of talks. Player keen on the move but talks with Aulas, not easy. 🇧🇷 #WHUFC
Vanaken remains one of the options for West Ham after two bids already rejected by Club Brugge.
