West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paquetá takes on questions submitted by supporters, discussing favourite foods, living in London and whether he’d ever appear on reality TV…
What is your favourite food that you’ve discovered since you moved to England? George Hicks
To be honest, my favourite cuisine is Japanese food. Thankfully, I have lots of options here in London.
What’s your favourite skill to do in a match and why? Lucas Virk
The Rainbow Flick is a skill I like to do. I think the last time I did a good one was at Lyon. I tried one against Arsenal [in November], but it didn’t work out!
Which player have you enjoyed playing alongside the most during your career? Jagraj
Neymar. I feel like every time I step on the pitch with him is a special moment. He’s a player I’ve grown up idolising who is now my friend.
What’s the best goal you’ve ever scored? Mia Makin
Scoring in the World Cup with Brazil, against South Korea in Qatar [in 2022]!
Who is the best dancer on the team, besides you? Cady
I think that goes to [Jean-Clair] Todibo. He’s very good.
What is your favourite moment as a West Ham player so far? Teddy Murch
Winning the [UEFA Europa] Conference League. I’ll never forget that night.
What is your favourite thing about living in London? Will Carson
The variety and options you have when it comes to eating out. You don’t necessarily have to eat English food.
Would you ever do a celebrity reality TV show? Laura Arnold
I’ve always joked about going on Brazilian Big Brother, but I don’t know. I like watching it. I like the challenges as I’m quite a competitive person! Big Brother is huge in Brazil.
Do you have any pets? Matthew Woodhead
I have two puppies, Neve and Milk.
Do you play or follow any sports other than football? Will Beckett
I follow a bit of basketball. Golden State Warriors is my team because of Stephen Curry.
How many tattoos have you got? Michael Sealy
I don’t know actually. I think about 15. I get them all done by a friend in Brazil.
