After what has felt like an eternity of a saga, Lucas Paqueta has officially left the Hammers in order to complete his move to Flamengo. The club managed to agree on a fee for €42,000,000, which isn’t only Flamingo’s record fee, but it’s the Brazilian league’s record.

The ongoing saga could’ve been completed at a much quicker rate than expected, in which a week ago the Hammers had actually accepted a lower offer with a lucrative payment schedule, but last minute, Flamengo pulled the offer and it triggered another week of negotiating, which is now finally over.

Two in, three out! It’s all in & out for the Hammers at the moment during this January window in what has been one of the most active January’s in a very long time.

The Hammers have so far seen Taty and Pablo introduced to West Ham, but out the door have gone Guilherme, Guido Rodriguez, and soon-to-be Lucas Paqueta. Guido has officially left the Hammers after joining Valencia for an ‘undisclosed fee’, which is under £500,000, and it was completed in this sense rather than terminating his contract, as it benefited both sides.

Paco Jemez - An individual who spent his entire career in Spain, yet always seemed destined to join the East London side, given his character.

A perfect fit for West Ham at the moment, given his tactical style but he also embodies what fans admire to have. Against Sunderland, it was noticed that as per, across the goals, Jemez would celebrate like normal, yet towards the end of the game, specifically where Nuno was going to substitute on Max Kilman, he began raging towards the head coach about his decision and believed that there was no need to substitute on a defender.
