West Ham have agreed personal terms with Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta, according to a report.

An second bid of £42million was rejected by the French side yesterday, but further talks were reportedly positive, with the Hammers looking to complete a deal sooner rather than later.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Paqueta's agents have been in London to complete a deal with the player, but the clubs are still yet to agree on a fee despite positive talks yesterday.
