Negotiations were underway for a sensational swap deal involving Lucas Paqueta and Yves Bissouma between Tottenham and West Ham United.

Tottenham might have the chance to acquire West Ham United's star Lucas Paqueta in a cost-effective transfer this summer. It seems West Ham United is prepared to let go of the Brazilian midfielder Paqueta, but not for the hefty price they had initially hoped for. The club is now willing to accept a much lower transfer fee for the 27-year-old, just two years after turning down a substantial offer estimated at around £80 million. Sources indicate that Paqueta is expected to be exonerated of any misconduct, which would allow him a new beginning. The Hammers are prepared to allow the Brazilian to depart the club this summer for a mere £30m, and Tottenham might consider pursuing the creative midfielder. In the past, Manchester City had expressed significant interest in Paqueta, but their plans were interrupted due to an investigation into alleged betting violations involving the player. As the investigation approaches its conclusion, Tottenham could take advantage of the situation, as West Ham seeks to enhance financial flexibility under Graham Potter's squad overhaul.
