West Ham United manager David Moyes has confirmed the club have submitted a bid for Lucas Paqueta.

The Lyon playmaker has been linked with Arsenal and Newcastle United this summer.

The Hammers have put forward a bid of around £34m for Paqueta, who plays for the Brazil national team.

"He can play as a number 10, an eight, and he plays as a false nine for Brazil quite often. I think his pedigree is really good," said Moyes.

"Pedigree doesn't always guarantee that it works, but you would hope that it helps towards him possibly getting better."
