West Ham are in advanced talks to sign Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta.

West Ham have offered €35m for Paqueta.

The Hammers are holding talks with the 25-year-old in London today ahead of a proposed switch, says the Daily Mail.

Paqueta has been heavily linked with a move away from Lyon this summer and has also been targeted by Arsenal.

He would become West Ham's eighth new signing of the summer but only the second addition to their midfield after Flynn Downes.
