Lucas Paqueta: West Ham set to sign Lyon and Brazil midfielder for £36.5m
West Ham are on the brink of completing a £36.5m deal for Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta.
The 25-year-old is due to have a medical on Sunday before completing the switch from French club Lyon. The deal for Paqueta also includes a potential £14.4m in add-ons which, if triggered, would turn the transfer into a club record for the Hammers.He is expected to be part of the Brazil squad for this year's World Cup.He has scored seven times in 33 games for Brazil and played for Lyon against West Ham in last season's Europa League quarter-final, which the Hammers won 4-1 on aggregate.

Buoyancy and hydrostatic balance in a West Indian Ocean coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae - BMC BiologyBackground Buoyancy and balance are important parameters for slow-moving, low-metabolic, aquatic organisms. The extant coelacanths have among the lowest metabolic rates of any living vertebrate and can afford little energy to keep station. Previous observations on living coelacanths support the hypothesis that the coelacanth is neutrally buoyant and in close-to-perfect hydrostatic balance. However, precise measurements of buoyancy and balance at different depths have never been made. Results Here we show, using non-invasive imaging, that buoyancy of the coelacanth closely matches its depth distribution. We found that the lipid-filled fatty organ is well suited to support neutral buoyancy, and due to a close-to-perfect hydrostatic balance, simple maneuvers of fins can cause a considerable shift in torque around the pitch axis allowing the coelacanth to assume different body orientations with little physical effort. Conclusions Our results demonstrate a close match between tissue composition, depth range and behavior, and our collection-based approach could be used to predict depth range of less well-studied coelacanth life stages as well as of deep sea fishes in general.
