The ESPN UK team believe if Manchester City completes the signing of Lucas Paqueta, it will be game over for everyone else this season.
As the reports come of Manchester City’s move for the Brazilian international, the ESPN UK team go over what he may bring to the treble winners.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that the two clubs are in negotiations for the midfielder. He added that it would be a tough negotiation as West Ham are reluctant to lose their star man.
