According to MediaFoot’s report, Lyon will ask for around 50 million euros for Paqueta.
Arsenal is likely to view Paqueta as an option in the left central midfield role in Arteta’s preferred 433 system, but Paqueta’s flexibility would present the Gunners with a series of exciting options in terms of how they could line up.
Whilst Arsenal has signed Gabriel Jesus and extended Eddie Nketiah’s contract, the club doesn’t have many other senior options at center-forward, and Paqueta would give Arteta an alternative number 9, providing different options for differing game scenarios.
Newcastle is also heavily interested in Paqueta but after seeing how his ex-teammate and fellow Brazilian Bruno Guimaeres has performed at Newcastle, Edu Gaspar will surely be keen to ensure Paqueta heads to Arsenal and not Eddie Howe’s side.
