Hammers Baas Graham Potter has sought -after The Oostfit of East Londs not to sell, but there is increasing interest before the Deadline transfer. Spurs can have a lead over the champions League qualification.
Paqueta would be a fantastic acquisition for the heavyweights in London. The former Lyon -Man is strong when it comes to challenges and one Impressive six duels per competition match Last season next to two tackles and 4.5 recovery.
He can work anywhere in midfield, but can play in advance if necessary. He would be a good signature for tomorrow’s deadline, but the big question is whether West Ham will consider his departure without a replacement in his hand.
Spurs have already done business this summer with the hammers with the purchase of Mohammed Kudus. As a result, they have a good working relationship, which can also offer them an advantage, apart from Champions League football.
