Lucas Paqueta is happy at West Ham despite yet more interest from Manchester City. Having been high on the list of targets for Pep Guardiola last year it is expected that City are keeping tabs on him once again.
Having been a top candidate to join last summer before news of an investigation into betting allegations, Paqueta has continued to impress under David Moyes during his second season in the Premier League.
Now, after helping City out in their bid to win a fourth title in a row, the 26-year-old has given an update on his future. “I have to do my work here at West Ham," he told ESPN.

"I have an enormous respect for the club. I’m very happy here, and if I don’t say that, I’d be lying." Having played the full match as Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw on Saturday afternoon, leaving Jurgen Klopp's hopes of a second title hanging by a thread, he was also aware of the recent speculation.
"Of course there are a lot of things happening off the pitch but I am focused on doing my best and end the season on a high. I started well and intend on finishing [the season] well.
“What has been said about Manchester City is all stuff from the previous transfer window. Now it’s about finishing the season and to wait and see what will happen.”
Only last month he also spoke about the betting investigation. "I was told not to comment on this subject," he told a Brazil press conference during the international break. ‘"It’s been seven months since it’s happened and I’m cooperating, doing what’s in my power so that it can be resolved."
