Sky Sports presenter Joe Thomlinson believes new signing Lucas Paquetá could unseat Tomas Soucek from the starting line-up at London Stadium.
Soucek has been heavily criticized since last season for his performances and lack of goals and Thomlinson believes Paquetá’s performances could mean a bench role for the Czech international.
He said: “Paquetá is an impressive signing. Nothing negative can be said about Paquetá in a midfield three from Declan Rice and Soucek, probably instead of Soucek.”
The Brazil star broke the club’s transfer record when he joined from Lyon and has already established himself in West Ham’s midfield.
