West Ham hope to complete the £50.8million signing of Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta following his medical on Sunday.

The Brazilian, who will sign a five year contract, was due to fly into London on Saturday evening after West Ham agreed a fee of £36.4m plus a further £14.4m in bonuses.

The news comes after weeks of speculation regarding the former AC Milan midfielder's future, with West Ham having multiple lower bids rejected before the agreement was reached.
