Lucas Paqueta may get into trouble for his betting choices

West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta, wanted by Manchester City, is being investigated for betting on sports events, which is banned by the Football Association in England, the Daily Mail reported.

For such an offense, England’s national team and Brentford’s forward Ivan Toni was banned from playing for 8 months.

Paquetá is a Brazilian international and has been linked with a move to City in recent days. However, it turned out that the “Hammers” rejected an offer of 70 million pounds for him, insisting on receiving 85 million. This is probably why the champions withdrew from the negotiations.

At this stage, there are no details on how many and what bets are involved.
