West Ham are prepared to consider serious offers for Lucas Paqueta, with Tottenham keeping a close eye on developments as they look to strengthen their midfield before the summer window closes.
Thomas Frank’s side has coped admirably so far this season without a recognised number ten in the Tottenham Hotspur line-up, with Frank having to rely on makeshift options so far this campaign.
Two victories from their opening matches are certainly an encouraging sign for the Dane, yet Tottenham remain firmly in the market for a new creative midfielder.
The Lilywhites appeared to have tested the waters yesterday with a bid for Nico Paz, but their £60million offer was swiftly rejected by Como, sending Spurs back to the drawing board with only a few days left of the summer window.
Tottenham monitoring Lucas Paqueta situation at West Ham
Lucas Paqueta is a name that has been linked with Tottenham, with reports suggesting that Spurs have shown interest in the midfielder.
GIVEMESPORT have now provided an update on the Brazilian, revealing that West Ham are open to letting the attacking midfielder leave this summer, but only if the right offer arrives.
While Paqueta could indeed be sold, it is understood that West Ham values him at around £60million. It has also been revealed that the player himself has not indicated that he is desperate to push for a move or embark on a new challenge.
However, there remains a possibility of a deal if the Hammers see an opportunity to reinvest and strengthen other areas of their squad.
Spurs could push for Paqueta after Nico Paz rejection
The West Ham midfielder opened his Premier League account in matchweek two with a stunning strike against Chelsea.
Tottenham and West Ham have already conducted business this summer, with Mohammed Kudus making the switch from the London Stadium to N17, and the Ghana international has already settled well into life at Spurs.
Tottenham have demonstrated that they possess the funds required to pursue Paqueta, given that their £60million bid for Nico Paz was turned down earlier this week.
Spurs fans have also been vocal about their ideal alternative following the latest setback with Nico Paz, with many fans naming Paqueta as their preferred number ten target.
