Lucas Paqueta has been a beloved member of the West Ham squad since signing for the club from Lyon in the summer of 2022.
Although his performances have been inconsistent at times, he remains one of the best players at the club, and a player who can get fans at the London Stadium off their seats.
It didn't take long for West Ham fans to realise that they had a special player on their hands, and during his first season at the club, matchgoing Irons created a West Ham chant for the player.

Lucas Paqueta chant, lyrics and tune
The Lucas Paqueta chant is West Ham's version of the popular ‘follow, follow, follow' football chant. The lyrics to the chant are as follows:
Follow, follow, follow,
Our Brazilian Magnifico,
‘Cos there's nobody better,
Than Lucas Paqueta,
And now he's one of our own
Lucas Paqueta chant background
As mentioned, the Lucas Paqueta chant was created very early on in his West Ham career, during his first season at the London Stadium.
The chant sums up the player well, labelling him a ‘magnifico, which is a fair description of the player, considering he is someone who can do things out of the ordinary at any given moment.
In the years since this chant was created, a second Paqueta chant has also done the rounds among West Ham fans. This one is more tongue-in-cheek and sung to the tune of the advertising jingle ‘Just sold my car, to We Buy Any Car'.
The West Ham version is simply – ‘Just sold my car, to Lucas Paqueta'

FGG says: More potential with the We Buy Any Car effort
While the ‘follow, follow, follow' Lucas Paqueta chant is good enough, there is more potential with the ‘We Buy Any Car' chant due to its originality. If the songmakers among the West Ham fanbase can think of a better line than ‘Just sold my Car', then they could be onto a belter.
