West Ham got their first points in the Premier League by beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 away from home this Sunday (31).
And they had another goal from Lucas Paquetá, who has now scored three times in four matches this season—five goals in total in 2024/2025.
Paquetá, who is a target for Aston Villa in this final stretch of the season—the English transfer window closes this Monday (1)—sent a “message” when celebrating his goal after converting a penalty.
He pretended to hang up a phone call before kissing the West Ham badge at City Ground.
Indicating that he will stay with the Hammers for the rest of the season.
Aston Villa wants to sign the Brazilian on loan, with an obligation to buy next June.
Cleared of accusations of involvement with sports betting and back with the Brazilian national team, Paquetá is celebrating a positive start to the season with the aforementioned three goals.
West Ham had suffered two heavy defeats in the PL, were eliminated from the English League Cup by Wolverhampton, but have now secured their first win in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Forest, full of Brazilians, remains on four points. Besides starter Murillo, Igor Jesus came on in the 73rd minute.
Douglas Luiz and Morato stayed on the bench. John and Cuiabano are expected to be officially announced on this last day of the transfer window.
