West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paqueta wants to leave the club in the coming months.
The 28-year-old Brazilian has been linked with a move from the London club in the past. According to a report from Claret&Hugh, the South American player is looking for a new challenge.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
West Ham must retain Lucas Paqueta
West Ham have had a very disappointing run in the Premier League and losing one of their best players will be a blow to them. It remains to be seen whether they are prepared to let him go in January.
The Hammers will be desperate to secure their place in the Premier League this season. They wouldn’t want to go down to the championship. They need to keep their best players to survive. It would be ideal for them to keep the Brazilian until the end of the season.
Paqueta has previously hinted that he will remain at the club this season.
Paqueta will want to step up.
There is no doubt that the South American player is talented enough to play for a bigger club. He is looking to take on new challenges at this stage of his career. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to come forward and offer him a way out.
West Ham should do everything in their power to convince the Brazilian to stay until the end of the season. They haven’t been able to perform at a high level and it’s no wonder the top players want to take the next step. Paqueta is at the peak of his career and will want to fight for trophies. West Ham have failed to offer him that platform.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops in the coming weeks.
