West Ham midfielder Lucas Paquetá will be available for the remainder of the season, Claret & Hugh have learned today.

Following conversations with a top London Stadium insider and a source close to the player, it can be confirmed that Paquetá will continue to be available to manager Graham Potter.

The Brazilian looked like he was getting back to his best form against Bournemouth yesterday, and Potter has praised the midfielder for his professionalism and attitude.

There has certainly been quiet optimism in the Paquetá camp after seeing the evidence presented during the FA hearing. The process has taken far longer than anyone anticipated, and as a result, Paquetá will remain available for West Ham for the rest of the season — at the very least.

Suggestions that the FA are looking to strike a deal with Paquetá’s legal team have been rubbished by a Hammers insider. Meanwhile, a source close to the player has remained consistent in his belief that the Brazilian playmaker would be available for West Ham all season… and so it has proven.

      I didn’t realise/had forgotten that Zouma was still on the books.

      Agree with all the above, except maybe Soler, who seems to be the only midfielder we currently have who can pass the ball.

      I would also add Kudus (assuming we can get a high fee) and probably Areola too.

    • Fredk says:

      Yes agreed with exception of Solar,not everyone’s cup of tea but like him. Don’t have a clue why we got Furguson if we don’t use him. Let Potter pick his players and hopefully next season we get it right .⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️

    • Taffyhammer says:

      Maybe interesting to someone – but what has this to do with Lucas Paqueta article?

    • J Rhhoddess says:

      Yes agreed well done

    • WestHamNige says:

      Zouma !!!! What we still paying his wages . Our club has gone mad. Maybe not Irvine . The rest I agree with , with possibly Mavrapanos added to it .

  • ian Lench says:

    Please do not deal with the FA (*uck *ll) evidence. This shower of a association are losing this fight by the minute. Keep your faith Lucas, we stand by you.

    • FredK says:

      Absolutely. And how do the FA compensate West Ham and Paqueta for ruining almost a seasons football? With nothing,that’s the answer. The bunch of stuffed shirts make their own rules.

      • Taffyhammer says:

        Highly remunerated stuffed shirts at that. Too right, FredK.

        • Gav says:

          I thought we should think about next season because either way,
          Paqueta won’t be playing for us next season.
          We have spoke enough about him all season don’t u think?
