West Ham star Lucas Paqueta has broken his silence after being cleared of FA spot-fixing charges.
‘The enemy will come against us one way, but they will flee seven ways.’ Paqueta wrote on Instagram.
‘Since the first day of this investigation, I have maintained my innocence against these extremely serious accusations.
‘I can’t say anything more now, but I also can’t express how grateful I am to God and how eager I am to return to playing football with a smile on my face.
‘To my wife who never let go of my hand, to West Ham, to the fans who always cheered me on, to Fernando Malta and my legal team at Level (Alastair Campbell, Jonathan Hyman, Dan Lowen), Nick De Marco KC, and Kendrah Potts—thank you for everything.
‘ALL GLORY AND HONOR BE TO GOD! A COMPLETE WORK’
