West Ham agree deals to buy strikers Castellanos and Pablo for up to £47m

• Both transfers being driven by Nuno Espírito Santo

• Sterling rejects West Ham, with Fulham favourites

West Ham are poised to boost their attacking options by signing Gil Vicente’s Pablo Felipe and Lazio’s Taty Castellanos at a cost of up to £47m.

Both deals have been driven by Nuno Espírito Santo, who is looking to help his struggling side’s fight to stay in the Premier League by adding more firepower. West Ham considered a move for the Wolves striker Jørgen Strand Larsen but decided against making a bid after concluding that his £40m valuation was too high.
