West Ham are closing in on the signing of Portuguese striker Pablo, it’s been reported by ExWHUEmployee.

Following yesterday’s significant level of activity in east London with regards to our transfer window business kicking off uncharacteristically early, Ex has now advised that the club are close to completing the signing of our first player of January.

“We can confirm that Pablo is in the building to sign his contract,” stated Ex on The West Ham Way Patreon.

“It appears that the medical has all gone to plan and the club hope to lodge the contract in time for him to play against Wolves but will need international clearance.

“We expect the deal to be announced sometime soon today and will try to keep you in the loop when that is.

“Most people would call this a done deal at this stage but I will wait one last bit of confirmation before committing to that but it seems the player will be a West Ham player soon.”
