Tottenham prioritise Lucas Paqueta signing

Lucas Paqueta's season in Ligue 1 has not gone unnoticed by big European clubs. Premier League clubs have been especially interested in Lyon's star, due to the Brazilian attacker's eye catching style of play.

In the last few months, Newcastle have looked like most likely team to sign the South American player this summer. Arsenal also showed interest in Paqueta.

However, in the last few hours it has emerged that Antonio Conte's Tottenham look like the most likely team to sign the Brazilian international. According to 'Football.London', Spurs have set their sights on the former AC Milan player.

In order to acquire his services, Tottenham will have to match Lyon's asking price of 50 million euros. Paqueta has played at a very high level for the two seasons that he has been at the French side. The player has reached the ten goal mark in both seasons in Ligue 1 and has resgistered 14 assists in total. These numbers have led him to be valued at 69 million, according to BeSoccer Pro.
