Keeping Lucas Paqueta has to be one of the most essential things West Ham done this summer. After an unsuccessful start to life at the London Stadium, the 26-year-old began to find his feet towards the conclusion of last season.
And he’s starting early this time. He scored in the win over Chelsea. And now he gets his first assist of the season, producing a lovely cross for Jarrod Bowen to put West Ham ahead against the Hatters.
It was a brilliant moment from the former Lyon player. And Shearer believed that he was the standout performer as West Ham secured their second win of the season.
“Outstanding cross for Jarrod Bowen’s goal.” He was on a different level than everyone else on the field,” he told the Premier League website.
West Ham have done a fantastic job of coming out of the summer transfer window in a better position than they went in.
They have lost their finest player from the previous season. Despite this, their roster has grown greatly because to the additions of James Ward-Prowse, Edson Alvarez, and Mohammed Kudus.
West Ham are in a great position to progress now that Lucas Paqueta has been retained.
If Paqueta continues to improve, it will become increasingly difficult to fend off bids from him in the future. However, West Ham will be hoping that they can quickly argue that he can achieve many of his goals in the iconic claret and blue shirt.
