Paqueta was fantastic for Lyon in the recently-concluded campaign. He scored 11 goals and provided seven assists in all competitions, which is a very good record for an attacking midfielder.
His performances have been so good for Lyon that his teammate, Jerome Boateng, lavished praise on him not too long ago.
The German World Cup winner said, as quoted by HITC: “He brings so much to our team. He runs a lot, his skills, his technique, his (ability to) create chances, his passing, his (determination to) fight for the ball.
“I think he has the potential to be really a world star in football.”
