Newcastle United are launching a club record bid for Lyon attacker Lucas Paqueta.

Paqueta attracted an offer from Newcastle in January and they're ready to try again for the Brazil international.

The Times says Newcastle are planning a £50m bid for Paqueta.

Should OL sell, it would make Paqueta the most expensive signing in the club's history. Former OL teammate Bruno Guimaraes joined the Magpies in January for &poud;43m.

Paqueta has a deal with OL to 2025.
