Across Nuno’s past, he’s had one of his most successful spells at Wolves, in which he had a Mexican Talisman to lead the lines. Raul Jimenez was a crucial forward for the club’s success and was a primary outlet for Nuno’s goals, so it has been decided to target the South American way and not sign the striker from Fulham himself.

The Hammers have been keeping an eye on Mexican giant Santiago Gimenez from AC Milan after the Italian’s are ready to throw in the towel, and use him as a pawn in their attempts to secure Fullkrug within the deal.

Though the signature of Nuno Espirito Santo set the principle of a specific style of play to be used, it also set in stone the inevitable number of players the Hammers would be linked to from the array Nuno’s previously worked with.

Whilst most are simply just twaddle, the link posed for Fulham Winger Adama Traore is in fact real, seeing as the Spaniard is in the last year of his contract and Nuno is expecting the club to take advantage of it.

Nichlas Fullkrug has become the latest Hammers striker signing to ultimately fall short of expectation and since the beginning of the season, it seems the relations between the Kraut and the club have turned sour after comments from his agent.

Upon the hiring of Nuno, it was highly anticipated that Fullkrug would be his preferred target man and striker to use, but the fixture against Arsenal saw everything turn for the worse. The experienced German was dragged off for rookie Callum Marshall, which further showed the dislike Nuno had begun to have with Fullkrug.
