Manchester City have struck personal terms with West Ham attacker Lucas Paqueta.

However, City are yet to open talks with the Hammers about a fee for the Brazil international.

City were targeting Paqueta last summer before the move was suspended as the midfielder became subject of a betting probe by Brazilian authorities.

Foot Mercato says City were willing to pay 86m for Paqueta and now have agreed personal terms with the player over a long-term agreement.

It's suggested West Ham may demand more than what was settled over 18 months ago.
