Lucas Paquetá arrived last summer at West Ham from the French club Lyon for the sum of 61.6 million euros. He grew as an important link in his new team, currently 14th in the Premier League after 32 games played.

In addition to his goal against Liverpool yesterday, despite the 2-1 defeat, the Brazilian playmaker trained at CR Flamengo had scored one last Sunday against Bournemouth during his team’s 4- 0, and another, this time in the Europa Conference League against La Gantoise (4-1), with the added bonus of two assists in this match, almost single-handedly achieving the feat of qualifying his club for the first time in its history in the semi-finals of this competition.
However, the Brazilian is still far from his Lyon period, the most successful of his career with 21 goals scored in 80 games played, but in a championship that is much less tough and competitive than the English Premier League.

It’s up to him to perpetuate this trend.
