Lucas Paqueta 250825

Before Mohammed Kudus joined Tottenham Hotspur from West Ham United this summer, no player had made that move since Scott Parker back in 2011. 

Now, like London buses, another West Ham star could also be heading to Spurs. 

According to The Daily Mail, "Tottenham are also showing interest in West Ham attacking midfielder Lucas Paqueta along with Aston Villa." 

It would be devastating for West Ham to lose Lucas Paqueta 

There were fears that Paqueta's career would be over due to betting allegations. However, the Brazilian has now been cleared. 

This controversy is thought to have cost Paqueta a move to Manchester City. He will still have ambitions of playing for a Champions League club.

Paqueta must also have some loyalty to West Ham for sticking with him through this saga. 

The Hammers are in a poor situation right now, and Paqueta's wonder goal against Chelsea was their only positive in a 5-1 drubbing at the London Stadium. 

Spurs are looking for another attacker after missing out on Eberechi Eze. Villa has had a bad start to the Premier League campaign, so Unai Emery will be expecting quality signings before the transfer window closes.
