West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to react after hearing what Pablo Fornals shouted when Craig Dawson scored against Leeds.
After the West Ham No.15 powered a header past Illan Meslier, the Spaniard ran over to join Declan Rice, Said Benrahma and Tomas Soucek in the celebrations.
We can then hear the £24 million man shout ‘Dawsonaldo’ in jubilation as the Hammers doubled their lead.
Of course, it goes without saying that Fornals is comparing the 30-year-old to Cristiano Ronaldo, or the Brazilian Ronaldo, in fairness.
It was great to hear that come from the West Ham No.18, and a claim such as that only goes to show how prolific Dawson has been this season.
He arrived on a season-long loan from Watford to little fanfare, having just been relegated with the Hornets.
However, after netting four goals in 16 games, the Rochdale-born colossus has become a fan favourite in east London.
The Athletic have revealed that Dawson is just three Premier League starts away from triggering a permanent switch to the London Stadium, worth £2 million.
His form has been so impressive that Gareth Southgate is also considering including him in his England squad ahead of the European Championships, again revealed by The Athletic.
He’s certainly one of the signings of the season – without a doubt.
