The report states that negotiations are ongoing in a bid to convey him to the London Stadium, and there may be confidence a deal could possibly be struck between Paqueta and the membership ought to a charge be agreed.
It might symbolize an actual coup for West Ham, with Paqueta being linked with Arsenal and Newcastle in current weeks and a charge of round £50m has seemingly put the duo off.
And it may see them stand up the Premier League desk as they continue to be the one facet with out a level after three video games.
