West Ham United are hoping to secure a transfer deal early in the January transfer window, with club insider ExWHUEmployee providing a positive update.

Following yesterday’s exclusive, Ex has revealed that a medical has been booked today for Portuguese striker Pablo, with the club pushing to have the player available for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Wolves.

Medical Scheduled for Pablo

Speaking on The West Ham Way Patreon, Ex said:

“West Ham hope to complete a medical for new signing Pablo today and get him registered in time for the match against Wolves.

The forward is thought to cost around €20 million, with various clauses included, although we will update you once the final figures are confirmed.”

If completed in time, the deal would give Nuno Espírito Santo an immediate attacking option as the Hammers look to improve their fortunes.

Adama Traoré Talks Ongoing

Ex also confirmed that discussions are continuing over Adama Traoré, although the situation remains complicated.

“Talks will also continue for Adama Traoré. We will keep you updated if we hear any developments. It is complicated by Fulham wanting to hold onto him until the Africa Cup of Nations concludes.”

Busy Window Expected as Relegation Battle Intensifies

The January window is expected to be a busy one at the London Stadium, with West Ham currently battling to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Nuno is keen to strengthen a squad that has clearly lacked balance and depth, and early business could prove crucial in turning the club’s season around.
