WEST HAM’S INSANE STRIKER HAUL EXPLODES: NEXT LETHAL GOAL MACHINE ALREADY SIGNED – AND A SECOND WORLD-CLASS BOMBER IS ABOUT TO DROP, FANS ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS!
West Ham United have reached an agreement with Portuguese side Gil Vicente over the signing of highly rated striker Pablo, with sources confirming the deal to TEAMtalk.
The Hammers are actively reshaping their attacking options after agreeing to loan Niclas Fullkrug to AC Milan.
Alongside that move, West Ham are in advanced talks with Fulham over the signing of Adama Traore, a transfer that would see the winger reunited with manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
The club are now looking to strengthen further by adding Pablo to their frontline.
The 21-year-old forward only completed a permanent switch to Gil Vicente last summer, joining from Famalicao after a productive loan spell last season in which he netted five goals in 23 appearances.
Since making the move permanent, Pablo has taken his game to another level and has been one of the standout performers in the Portuguese top flight.
He has already scored 10 goals in just 14 league outings this season, form that has attracted significant attention.
Super agent Jorge Mendes has played a key role in facilitating the agreement between West Ham, Gil Vicente and the player.
While West Ham continue to monitor alternative striker options, including Roma forward Artem Dovbyk, they were eager to push this deal through quickly to address their immediate needs.
Sources indicate that Pablo has already travelled to London and is set to undergo a medical ahead of finalising his move.
West Ham currently sit four points adrift of safety at the halfway point of the Premier League campaign, making reinforcements in attack a priority as they battle to avoid relegation.
Goals have been in short supply, with Fullkrug failing to score in nine appearances across all competitions, prompting the club to sanction his departure.
Pablo is expected to arrive soon and will be tasked with translating his impressive Portuguese form to English football.
West Ham have also explored a potential move for Cruzeiro striker Kaio Jorge, though one target they will not be landing is Manchester City defender Nathan Ake, who has turned down a switch to east London.
