West Ham have already targeted Lucas Paquetá’s future replacement. Author of two goals and no assists in eleven Premier League matches this season, the Brazilian midfielder does not seem to completely convince in London. According to the Sunthe Hammers would be very interested in James McAtee (22 years old), the Skyblues midfielder, to take over from the player trained at Flamengo, if the latter were to leave.
The residents of the London Stadium are ready to pounce on the opportunity in the event of the departure of the former Olympique Lyonnais player. Courted for a time by Manchester City, Paquetá saw his transfer to the north of England derailed because of his sports betting scandal. It could be that the Citizens return to the charge, if necessary, James McAtee could go the opposite way.
