Lucas Paqueta Arrives in Italy Ahead of January Transfer to AC Milan

Brazilian sensation Lucas Paqueta has landed in Italy ahead of completing a January move to AC Milan.

In October, Milan beat the likes of Paris Saint-Germain to Paqueta's signature, and the 21-year-old remained with Brazilian side Flamengo until the end of 2018. With the Brazilian season now finished, Paqueta has travelled to Milan to join up with his new team.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed the news on Twitter, posting a picture of Paqueta arriving in Milan. Once the January transfer window opens, Paqueta will be officially unveiled as a Milan player.

Paqueta has been dubbed 'The New Kaka', and many teams were interested in a move for the young Brazilian.
