West Ham player charged with betting rule violations

England's Football Association has charged Lucas Paquetá, a midfielder for West Ham, with breaking betting regulations.

According to the FA's charges, Paquetá made an attempt to sway the outcome of these matches by purposefully attempting to get a card from the referee in order to manipulate the betting market and enable one or more parties to profit from wagering.

The first game of the 2023–24 season, three games from the 2022–23 season, and his debut in the Premier League with the east London club are all related to the violations, according to the FA statement.
