Breaking News: west Ham star refuses to sign a new deal and is determined to leave the club.
After scoring in West Ham’s win over Ipswich and being called up by Brazil Lucas Paqueta should have plenty to celebrate right now.
But instead West Ham’s Brazilian magnifico has been hit with two new charges by the Football Association.
Lucas Paqueta is so talented he should be West Ham’s main problem solver.
But the playmaker has, in many ways, become the club’s biggest problem.
Besides being nowhere near his brilliant best at West Ham since the turn of the year, he has effectively cost the club £85m – and the signing of Cole Palmer.
That’s after the FA and FIFA investigation into the West Ham playmaker over alleged involvement in spot-fixing relating to yellow cards saw a big deal between Man City and West Ham collapse.
Paqueta’s case is reportedly set to be heard in March with a verdict due in the summer.
But now two more charges have been added to the West Ham star’s rap sheet according to The Sun.

The report claims The FA kept Paqueta’s phone for around eight weeks last autumn while investigators analysed his call log, messages and bank records.
During that period, Paqueta allegedly purchased a replacement handset.
But, after the FA returned his original phone, he is said to have thrown it out in what’s been described as ‘a fateful decision that has added to his rap sheet’.
“SunSport has learned that at a later date the FA went back to the Brazil playmaker to ask for more access to his phone as there were further details their investigating team wanted to check — but he was unable to locate it,” the report states.
“As a result the FA accused him of obstructing their probe with the charges issued in May, including two aggravated breaches for non-cooperation.”
The Hammers ace has headed back to South America for games against Chile and Peru.
And West Ham won’t believe what Paqueta has been doing after being hit with the new charges.
