"Wolves want 40m for the Norwegian, whose wage demands are high. West Ham, who are closing in on a deal for the Fulham winger Adama Traore, made an informal inquiry for Strand Larsen this month but have identified Pablo as a cheaper option. Gil Vicente, the surprise package in Portugal this season, are expected to want 20m (17.5m) for the Brazilian. It is understood negotiations are moving in the right direction."
"He is rated as a top prospect, although there is a recognition within West Ham that he would need time to adjust to English football. West Ham are 18th, four points below 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, and desperately need to strengthen their squad. David Sullivan, the largest shareholder, is prepared to back Nuno and West Ham are looking far and wide for forwards."
West Ham are in advanced talks to sign Gil Vicente forward Pablo and have reconsidered a move for Wolves striker Jrgen Strand Larsen. Wolves value Strand Larsen at 40m with high wage demands, while Gil Vicente are expected to want 20m (17.5m) for Pablo. Pablo, 21, has scored nine goals this season, lifting Gil Vicente to fourth in the Primeira Liga, and is represented by agent Jorge Mendes. West Ham sit 18th in the Premier League and urgently need attacking reinforcements under manager Nuno Espirito Santo. The club are also closing on Adama Traore and have monitored several other forwards.
