Lucas Paqueta ‘fed up’ with David Moyes amid West Ham United exit talks, he was ‘disgusted’
We’re delighted to welcome former West Ham United striker Frank McAvennie as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at the London Stadium…
Frank McAvennie believes Lucas Paqueta could leave West Ham this summer as he may be “fed up” with playing under David Moyes.
The Brazilian international moved to the London Stadium from Ligue 1 club Lyon last summer, making 41 appearances in his debut season in claret and blue.
The midfielder scored five goals and chipped in with seven assists as the Hammers stayed in the Premier League and lifted the Europa Conference League trophy.
He is, however, reportedly being chased by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, with the player “very keen” on a switch to the Etihad
The publication added that the 25-year-old has an £85million buy-out clause within his Hammers contract, but that can only be activated next summer.
Speaking to West Ham Zone, McAvennie said: “They all have that nowadays don’t they? It’s a good bit of business from West Ham.
“But I think there is an awful lot more to come from the player. I just think we’ve only seen a little bit of how good he is.
“It depends though, because he might be fed up with the way Moyes is playing, the way the team is playing.
“In terms of his body language, he walked off a couple of times last season disgusted with the way they were playing, you could tell.
“If that’s the case then yeah, move on, but I hope we get another year out of him at least, because he’s a good player, and is also good for the other players coming.”
