Lucas Paqueta has received good news.

The FA (Football Association) announces that the allegations of potential match-fixing against the "West Ham United" midfielder have been dismissed.

Due to these suspicions, L. Paqueta was unable to move to "Manchester City" two years ago. At that time, "West Ham" did not receive more than 80 million euros, and the Brazilian did not get his dreamed transfer.

Several incidents where L. Paqueta was suspected seemed very strange; however, in the end, the midfielder was found innocent.
