Newcastle United target Lucas Paqueta revealed earlier this year his ambition is to become a legend at Lyon. As reported by ChronicleLive, the Brazilian - who is best friends with Toon midfielder Bruno Guimaraes - is a target for the Magpies this summer.
A £58million price tag has been slapped on Paqueta after a stellar season in Ligue 1. Despite Lyon’s struggles, the 24-year-old has bagged nine goals and made six assists this campaign to attract a string of suitors on the continent.
Arsenal are monitoring the situation but Lyon are not desperate to sell as Paqueta’s contract runs until 2025. In January, the midfielder even committed to an ambitious future at the club. Speaking to Amazon, he said: “I want to write history with Lyon. I will do everything to win titles, to engrave my name in the history of this club.”
