Aston Villa have held talks with West Ham over a loan move with an obligation to buy midfielder Lucas Paqueta.<\/p>\n
Sources have told BBC Sport that initial discussions have centred around a total package of around \u00a350m including the loan fee before the deal is made permanent next summer.<\/p>\n
Well-placed sources claim West Ham want to keep Paqueta and it remains to be seen whether the London club sanction the transfer.<\/p>\n
But the 28-year-old is understood to be open to joining Villa before Monday’s transfer deadline.<\/p>\n
The Brazil attacking midfielder trained with his West Ham team-mates as normal on Saturday before their trip to Nottingham Forest on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He was expected to make the trip for the match at the City Ground but his future at London Stadium is now in question.<\/p>\n
Tottenham and Everton also hold an interest in Paqueta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aston Villa have held talks with West Ham over a loan move with an obligation to buy midfielder…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":104280,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-104279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
