Why Tottenham could have massive say in imminent Pablo exit at West Ham United
Pablo could still leave West Ham United, with Tottenham Hotspur potentially having a say in developments.
The transfer window may have closed for English clubs on Tuesday, but it remains open in various other countries.
That includes Turkey, with Trabzonspor continuing to eye attacking players before the deadline later on Friday.
Pablo is one such target, with the 22-year-old being considered at the Claret-Blues.
The Portuguese started West Ham's win over Wolves in midweek, but that could prove to be his last game at the London Stadium.
But only if Tottenham do not give West Ham a helping hand.
What is latest with Pablo to Trabzonspor?
Pablo was touted with a West Ham exit earlier in the summer transfer window, but nothing came of it.
Having joined in a £20million deal from Gil Vicente in January, it is fair to say the Hammers have yet to see their money's worth.
But Pablo assisted a goal on his first start of the season in the Carabao Cup win over Portsmouth and looked lively when given a start against Wolves.
Just when he finally appears to be finding some rhythm, news has emerged of a possible exit.
According to The Times, Trabzonspor consider Pablo an alternative option to top target Richarlison.
The Brazilian has been left out of Tottenham's Premier League squad, but it is not known if the £20m Trabzonspor are willing to offer matches Spurs' valuation.
West Ham will certainly hope their fierce rivals accept that amount, and Richarlison agrees to the move, or else it could lead to some late disruption in East London.
If a bid does come in for Felipe ahead of the Turkish transfer window closing, it will leave the Irons with something to think about.
Who else could still be off from West Ham?
Pablo is not the only player whose future remains in doubt.
Edson Alvarez could yet be on the move to Greece, with the transfer window over there open for another couple of weeks.
The Saudi Pro League's transfer window is also open for now, with clubs in that division not afraid to splash the cash to land targets.
It means Nuno Espirito Santo is still not 100 per cent certain of the players he will have available come this time next month.
In the case of Pablo, he will hope nothing comes of this late interest from Trabzonspor.
