Beyond the investment amount, the technical staff is confident that his profile fits the demands of English football: intensity, sacrifice, and constant presence in the opponent's area. In such a competitive tournament as the Premier League, a lack of goals often comes at a high price, which is why the club decided to financially back a signing that promises immediate impact. For Castellanos, the challenge is twofold. His performance will not only be evaluated on individual terms but also on his ability to lead an offense seeking to escape the lower half of the table. Thus, the Argentine forward is inscribed in the history of West Ham alongside heavyweight names and faces a decisive challenge in his career. The arrival of the Argentine attacker is not just another move in the club's recent history. The British team is going through a delicate period in the Premier League, and its management decided to bet strongly on a forward with goal-scoring ability, mobility, and international experience. In London, they trust that his arrival will not only justify the investment but also become the decisive factor to avoid relegation and bring peace of mind to a club accustomed to living with constant demands. From the club's perspective, the signing of the Argentine could mark a turning point in the season. West Ham knows that the €29 million investment implies an important sporting responsibility, but it also understands that the risk is proportional to the urgency of the objective. The expectation is that Castellanos can adapt quickly and become an offensive reference capable of sustaining the team in moments of greatest pressure. The label of 'bet' is not accidental. With this transfer, Castellanos was placed in the Top 3 of the most expensive center forwards to wear the 'Hammers' shirt, a list headed by Sébastien Haller, followed by Gianluca Scamacca.
