# Journalist: Lucas Paqueta already a fans’ favourite at West Ham

West Ham United’s summer recruit Lucas Paqueta is already a fans’ favourite at the London Stadium and is operating on “different levels” to his teammates.

That is according to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth who has informed [GIVEMESPORT](https://www.givemesport.com/88074857-west-ham-150k-a-week-star-on-different-level-at-london-stadium) of the admiration surrounding the Brazil international, despite the fact that he is still bedding into life in east London.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Sheth [said](https://www.givemesport.com/88074857-west-ham-150k-a-week-star-on-different-level-at-london-stadium): *“He’s already a fans’ favourite at West Ham United. The West Ham fans that I know, that I speak to, go to games regularly, and they keep telling me he’s on different levels; his touch is just fantastic.”*

## **Huge potential**

Despite failing to score in his ten appearances in West Ham colours so far, Paqueta has shown signs of succeeding at the London Stadium following his club-record summer switch from Lyon.

Having achieved [14 or more attacking returns in back-to-back Ligue 1 seasons](https://www.fotmob.com/players/766435/lucas-paquet%C3%A1), there is no doubting Paqueta’s ability to get goal returns, with his healthy average of [3.3 shots per game](https://www.fotmob.com/teams/8654/stats/west-ham-united/players) seeing him venture ever closer to making a direct impact.

With Paqueta’s technical skills there for all to see, the [£150k-per-week](https://fbref.com/en/players/9b6f7fd5/Lucas-Paqueta) asset’s rise to stardom under David Moyes will click, with his performances in an Irons shirt wholeheartedly positive thus far.
