William Carvalho & Javier Pastore Deal Major Blows to Premier League Suitors Ahead of Serie A Moves

Everton and West Ham have been dealt huge blows in their respective pursuits of William Carvalho and Javier Pastore. The clubs had been hoping to sign a player each, but they've both reportedly chosen to head over to the Serie A instead.

As both the Hammers and the Toffees look to avoid repeats of last season's flirting with relegation, they turn to the transfer market under new managers - Manuel Pellegrini (West Ham) and Marco Silva (Everton) - looking to recruit ahead of a tough Premier League campaign.

West Ham had been hopeful of completing an £18m move for Pastore, but became locked in talks with the player after having a bid accepted.
