Amidst all the hoopla, Premier League rivals Westham have announced the successful signing of Brazilian midfield star Lucas Berqueda from Lyon in a high-profile move. This heavyweight addition sees the two sides locking down a contract spanning four years until June 2027 The total value of the deal is said to be as high as £51 million, making it the most expensive acquisition in Westham's history.
Lucas Berqueda, 25, has not been given enough attention since his move to AC Milan from Falintango in 2018. After two seasons at AC Milan, he joined Lyon for a transfer fee of €20 million. According to the agreement at the time, AC Milan were entitled to a 15% share of Lucas' transfer fee from this move to Westham.
Lucas Berqueda, who will be wearing Westham's number 11, played 44 games for Lyon last season, contributing 11 goals and 7 assists. He is looking forward to the future and hopes to continue his excellent form in his new home and contribute to the team. Westham, on the other hand, are in dire need of Lucas Berqueda's fire-fighting ability after their poor performance in the Premier League this season, with only one win in the first four rounds.
