Brazil’s national team and Premier League club West Ham United both use Lucas Tolentino Coelho de Lima, also known as Lucas Paquetá, as an attacking midfielder.

He was staying in France but his new home will now be in England.
Lucas Paquetá house: Where does Lucas Paquetá live?
At the age of 10, Lucas Paquetá migrated to Flamengo in 2007. He was highly technical at the age of 15, but lacked the physicality of other players his age (he was only 5 ft tall).
But by the time he was 18, he had gained 27 cm (10.6 inches). He won the 2016 Copa So Paulo de Jniores, the most significant youth competition in Brazil, with the Flamengo young team.
Right after the competition, Lucas was promoted to the club’s professional team together with other outstanding players Léo Duarte, Felipe Vizeu, and Ronaldo.
Lucas Paqueta, a playmaker for Lyon, has been acquired by West Ham in a club-record $51 million move.
The Brazilian midfielder is now David Moyes’ ninth summer acquisition, bringing the Hammers’ overall transfer expenditure to well than £150 million.
West Ham has been successful in acquiring a Brazil international with real pedigree despite Lyon’s customary tough negotiating. Paqueta has been a rare bright spot for Lyon in recent years and was a significant factor in Brazil’s 2021 Copa America victory.
