West Ham to sell ANOTHER key player to Tottenham? Lucas Paqueta eyed by Spurs & Aston Villa to add to Graham Potter's woes

Per the Daily Mail, Paqueta has emerged as a transfer target for both Tottenham and Aston Villa as the summer window nears a close. Spurs are keen to strengthen their midfield options after losing out on a deal for Eze, while the Villans are also exploring possibilities amid financial constraints. Paqueta, fresh from clearing spot-fixing allegations, remains open to a fresh start at a Champions League club.

West Ham are under growing pressure after a poor start to the season, and the recent 5-1 defeat to Chelsea only added to the gloom. Having already lost Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham, selling another key player would deepen concerns among fans. Under pressure, boss Graham Potter is facing a real test to stabilise his squad while dealing with transfer uncertainty this summer.

Paqueta was one of West Ham’s brighter performers against Chelsea, scoring the opening goal before the Hammers collapsed defensively. Spurs, meanwhile, continue to explore attacking alternatives, with Daniel Levy still pushing for Savinho despite setbacks elsewhere. Villa remain in the race, too, though their financial situation could restrict them to a loan bid.

With just weeks left in the transfer window, Tottenham and Villa must decide whether to formalise their interest in Paqueta. West Ham face a tough call on whether to cash in or resist further departures.
