West HamComes up empty in loss
Castellanos generated one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Aston Villa.
Analysis: Castellanos had no luck on Sunday, winning three aerials while failing to get a shot on target in 45 minutes of play. Since his move to West Ham, the forward has scored two goals in 11 PL appearances, recording eight shots on target, nine key passes and making two successful dribbles in that span.
Nets in loss
Taty Castellanos scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-2 loss versus Liverpool.
Analysis: Castellanos scored during Saturday's clash, though that proved to do little but spoil the clean sheet. It was never a competitive match and Liverpool were comfortably in control throughout. Castellanos did well to finish, but with the team around him struggling so heavily, he will have to be very efficient with limited chances.
Insufficient effort Saturday
Castellanos generated three shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Castellanos missed the target a few times from inside the box, and his lone big chance created didn't lead to a goal during this match. The former Lazio and New York City FC standout is struggling to find his rhythm in the Premier League, recording just one goal in seven appearances so far. He'll hope to get back on track if he retains the starting spot going forward, in which case he should be able to perform close to his average of 2.6 shots (0.9 on goal) per game.
Scores first Premier League goal
Castellanos scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Burnley.
Analysis: Castellanos opened his Premier League account in the 26th minute by rising high to hammer home a header from El Hadji Malick Diouf's cross. His off-ball movement consistently occupied Burnley's center-backs and gave West Ham United a reliable outlet to break pressure after halftime. That strike held up as the difference, with Burnley unable to find an answer despite pushing harder in the second half. Castellanos finished with just one shot on the day, snapping an zero for 14 drought in the Premier League by being ruthless when his moment arrived.
Fires three shots
Castellanos took three shots (two on goal) and created a chance during Saturday's match against Sunderland.
Analysis: Castellanos was held off the scoresheet but led West Ham with his three shots as of his substitution in the 75th minute. The forward has yet to score in the Premier League since joining West Ham, but has made three straight starts combining for 10 goals and four chances created over that stretch. Castellanos does have a goal in the FA Cup and has been impactful despite not yet finding his way onto the scoresheet in the league.
Three shots in debut
Castellanos had three shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Tuesday's 2-1 loss against Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Castellanos saw an instant start following his transfer to West Ham, starting at forward just days after joining. He would see some decent efforts with three shots, although only one would hit the target. This is the pure forward the club have been missing as they hope he can bring them off the bottom of the table, likely to bid for his first goal soon if he continues to start.
Signs with West Ham
Castellanos has completed a transfer to West Ham from Lazio, according to his new club.
Analysis: Castellanos has completed his transfer after a few weeks of discussion around his planned move, with the forward inking a four-and-a-half year deal with the Hammers. He is coming off a decent few seasons since transferring to Italy in 2023, with his best campaign coming in the 2024/25 season, when he made 13 goal contributions in 29 appearances. This campaign, he has recorded five goal contributions in 11 appearances, still with a decent output, and mainly missing out due to injury. With the club recently unloading Niclas Fullkrug, Castellanos is likely to bid for a starting role immediately, competing with Callum Wilson for time.
