Lucas Paqueta is currently under investigation over several betting breaches according to recent reports.
According to reports, Paqueta received a booking in each of the three games under investigation by the FA, which is thought to be what ultimately led to the breakdown of an £85 million transfer to Man City.
He is believed to have received his first yellow card, a booking, for a late challenge on John McGinn during a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa on March 11.

He was given a second yellow card on May 21 for fouling Cresencio Summerville of Leeds.
Mail Sport also reported that the breakdown of the City transfer was actually because of Paqueta's card at Bournemouth on August 12 for pushing Illia Zabarnyi.

The FA reportedly learned of anti-corruption the following Monday morning from integrity officers, and after doing their own research, they later contacted West Ham and Paqueta.
