Lucas Paqueta: Man City still keen on £85m West Ham star ahead of summer transfer window
17:42 , Jonathan Gorrie
Manchester City remain keen on signing West Ham's Brazil midfielder Lucas Paqueta.
City wanted the 26-year-old last summer, and he is seen as a potential long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, who turns 33 in June. Paqueta's hopes of an £80million move to the Etihad were dashed after City learned of an FA investigation into potential betting rules breaches.
Paqueta remains in the dark about the investigation, but he has continued to play for West Ham and has enjoyed a brilliant season under David Moyes. He has also earned a recall to the Brazil squad and starred against England at Wembley last month.
