Pablo Fornals signed for West Ham United earlier this month.
Liam Rosenior has told Sky Sports News that it was ‘very clever’ of West Ham United to sign Pablo Fornals before The Under-21 European Championship.
Fornals, a £24 million signing by the Irons, has dazzled in the competition so far, helping Spain to tonight’s final against Germany in Udine, Italy.
West Ham signed the Spanish playmaker on June 14, two days before the competition began.
The 23-year-old would’ve been a very sought-after figure had he not left Villarreal already, and Rosenior, speaking to Sky Sports News [broadcast June 30, 2019], says the decision to sign him early was a brilliant move by the East Londoners.
“They [West Ham fans] should be excited especially from what I’ve seen at this tournament. He seems like the complete midfield player.
“He can score goals, he can link play, he can make assists he has got fantastic technique and I think everyone involved at West Ham can’t wait for him to join the club in pre-season.
“Very clever to get him before the tournament was done, credit to all the recruitment staff at West Ham as I think they’ve got an absolute steal on their hands.”
Fornals has scored twice and set up one goal in the competition so far, though he’ll hope to improve on those statistics tonight.
Hammers fans are ever so excited about him – and rightly so. This is a majestic number 10 who can create a lot of chances for his team-mates this coming season.
