(Reuters) - Brazil midfielder Lucas Paqueta has been cooperating with the investigation into his involvement in an alleged betting scheme, he said on Wednesday.

British media reported last year that the English Football Association raised concerns about the West Ham United player for possible breaches of betting rules in connection with yellow cards he received in the Premier League last season.
