West Ham attacker Paqueta leaves door open to Man City move

West Ham attacker Lucas Paqueta has left the door open to a summer move to Manchester City.

Paqueta is a target for City this season.

After their 2-2 draw with Liverpool, he said: “I have to do my work here at West Ham.

"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."
