West Ham’s Lucas Paquetá expected to be cleared of spot-fixing over bookings
West Ham's midfielder Lucas Paquetá is expected to be cleared of spot-fixing charges related to deliberately getting yellow cards to influence betting markets. The Brazilian was accused of four counts of intentionally getting booked in Premier League matches between November 2022 and August 2023. The Football Association also charged him with two counts of failing to cooperate with the investigation, which could have resulted in a career-ruining lifetime ban if he was found guilty. However, Paquetá is now expected to be cleared of all charges in the coming days, removing the shadow that has hung over him for the past two years.
