Paqueta is said to have deliberately gotten yellow cards to make himself money on the side.
Per The Sun, West Ham have now employed Nick De Marco KC, who helped Leicester City win an FFP case in the summer.
De Marco also got the better of them in arbitration regarding the Saudi Arabian royal family buying Newcastle United.
Whether this move will help West Ham is unclear, but they are giving themselves and Paqueta the best chance.
