Arsenal began talks with the £130,000 per week playmaker in the Premier League
Arsenal is keeping a close eye on West Ham United’s playmaker, Lucas Paqueta. In the battle for the services of the Brazilian international, Newcastle United will also face off against Arsenal. The value of Paqueta is €70 million.
The Gunners, though, don’t seem to mind the steep price, indicating that they could be willing to pay it. The Irons suffer a poor season, and Lucas’ contract with the Hammers continues until the summer of 2027. Footballers with the same degree of talent as the playmaker, 25, will want to compete at the top level.
Transferring to Emirates Stadium would significantly advance the career of the Brazilian attacker, and the playmaker is surely inclined to do the same. Arsenal has a decent chance of taking home the Premier League trophy this season. And the Gunners will be a desirable alternative for the bulk of football players.
Therefore, Arsenal’s midfield has to be improved in terms of both quality and depth. They made an effort to include Moises Caicedo of Brighton last month. The Gunners are nonetheless keeping an eye on other midfielders, like as Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. A possible target has also emerged in the South American playmaker.
