Keeping Lucas Paqueta has to be one of the most important pieces of business West Ham did in the summer. The 26-year-old started to find his feet towards the end of last season after an underwhelming start to life at t🔯he London Stadium.

And he has kicked on in the early stages this time around. He score💦d in the win over Chelsea. And he now has his first assist of the season, producing a delicious cross for Jarrod Bowen to put West Ham in front against the Hatters.

It was a moment of brilliance from the former Lyon star.✤ And Shearer insisted that he was the standout performer as Wes💯t Ham secured another win at the start of the campaign.

“Magnifice♌n🍷t cross for Jarrod Bowen’s goal. He was on another level to anyone else on the pitch,” he told .

West Ham have done a brilliant job to emerge from the summer transfer window in a bꦉetter position than when they went into it.

They have lost their best player from last season. And yet, their squad has improved significantly with the signings o♌f James Ward-Prowse, Edson Alvarez and Mohammed Kudus.

And having kept Lucas Paqueta, West Ham are in such a good positio𓄧n to kick on and improve further.

It is only going to get tougher and tougher to stave off bids from Paqueta🦋 in the future if he improves♌ further from here. But West Ham will hope that they can soon argue that he can realise many of his ambitions in the famous claret and blue shirt.
