West Ham dismiss Man City's approach for Paqueta

West Ham have dismissed an initial approach from Manchester City for midfielder Lucas Paqueta as it was "in no way deemed acceptable", Sky Sports News has been told.

It's thought the Hammers will not even begin to consider selling the Brazil international, who joined last summer on a five-year contract in a club-record £51m deal, for less than £85m.

Paqueta has a buyout clause in his contract but it cannot be triggered until next summer

However, it's understood Paqueta's head has been turned by the interest of the treble winners.
