Brazilian Forward Keen on Premier League Move via Jorge Mendes.

Pablo Felipe Pereira de Jesus

West Ham United are advancing in talks to sign Brazilian striker Pablo Felipe Pereira de Jesus (known as Pablo) from Gil Vicente, with the player reportedly very keen on the move.

Reliable Hammers insider @ExWHUEmployee first flagged the interest, noting negotiations involve super-agent Jorge Mendes – who has strong ties to manager Nuno Espírito Santo.

The 21-year-old centre-forward (1.84m, right-footed, dual Brazil/Portugal nationality) has exploded this season in Primeira Liga: 10 goals and 1 assist in 13-14 appearances, helping Gil Vicente sit surprisingly high in the table.

Fee estimates hover around €20m (£17.5m), potentially rising with add-ons. Pablo, a Mendes client compared to a “more mobile Diego Costa,” offers physicality, hold-up play, technique, and clinical finishing – addressing West Ham’s need for a reliable No. 9 amid relegation worries.

Personal terms unlikely to be an issue, with Pablo expected in London soon for medical if talks conclude positively. A potential early January boost for the Irons.
