West Ham boss Moyes praises Paqueta: But we want more

West Ham United boss David Moyes is delighted with the form of Lucas Paqueta.

The Brazilian is producing the best form of his Hammers career.

Before today's clash with Crystal Palace, Moyes said: "Paquetá is beginning to get used to the Premier League.

"We can say about many, many players that it takes time. And I still think he has a good bit to go yet. I think there is much more to come from him. Much more improvement is needed from him. But I have to say, it is good he is getting some goals because it is just helping us with the situation we are in at present."

Moyes also said: "Getting to another European semi-final for a second-year running is quite incredible really.

"So yes, we would like to be in a healthier league position so that maybe we could concentrate totally on it. But ultimately, we have to take one game at a time. Our focus is 100 per cent on the game against Crystal Palace. We are not considering the European game now, but it has given us a boost in getting to another semi-final."
