West Ham have agreed a club record fee for Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta.

An initial £34million bid was rejected with the Ligue 1 club keen to focus on the structuring of the deal for the 24-year-old Brazilian international.

The Hammers then sent a second offer of £48m to the French outfit in a bid to get the move over the line.

Now Sky Sports are reporting that the final fee which has been accepted is a whopping £51m.

Manager David Moyes is keen to recruit reinforcements after a dreadful start to the season.

West Ham currently sit bottom of the Premier League table having lost all three of their opening matches without scoring a goal.
