West Ham United has announced the Club record signing of Brazil international Lucas Paquetá.

The attacking midfielder, who celebrated his 25th birthday on Saturday, has joined the Hammers on a five-year deal with a one-year option for an undisclosed record fee from Olympique Lyonnais.

An outstanding talent able to play as a No10 or No8, Paquetá has been capped 33 times by Brazil, won the Copa América in 2019 and has starred for Flamengo in his home city of Rio de Janeiro, Italian club AC Milan and Lyon.

“I am extremely happy to be here. I hope it’s the beginning of an enjoyable journey. I hope my time here is successful,” said the South American, who will wear the No11 shirt in Claret and Blue.

“Last season, West Ham had a very good season and I hope they continue to enjoy more and more good seasons in my time at the Club.

“I am excited to pull on the West Ham shirt and show the fans what I can do, to help my team-mates and the Club.”
