(Reuters) - West Ham United have signed midfielder Lucas Paqueta from French side Olympique Lyonnais for a club record fee, the Premier League club said on Monday.
Financial details were not disclosed but British media said West Ham paid an initial fee of 36.5 million pounds with a potential 14.4 million in add-ons for the Brazilian who signed a five-year deal with a one-year option.
"I am extremely happy to be here. I hope it's the beginning of an enjoyable journey. I hope my time here is successful," Paqueta said in a statement. West Ham finished seventh last season under manager David Moyes but have struggled to get going in the new campaign to sit 16th after four games.
