West Ham summer transfer window set to hinge on player's betting case

With Lucas Paqueta's £85 million release clause set to expire at the end of the current campaign, West Ham is worried that the FA's investigation into his betting could interfere with their plans to make summer acquisitions for a second time.

Six months after the FA started looking into suspicious betting patterns related to three bookings last year, which resulted in the collapse of an agreed-upon £80 million move for Paqueta to Manchester City, the player is still under investigation.
