The Spaniard is already excited about playing for West Ham United.
West Ham new boy Pablo Fornals sat down for an exclusive interview with the club’s official website yesterday, and shared what he heard about Hammers fans, before making the move to east London from Villarreal.
The 23-year-old joined West Ham from the La Liga outfit three days ago for around £24 million, according to BBC Sport, and he arrives at the London Stadium under the weight of heavy expectation.
The mercurial Spaniard racked up five goals and six assists in 50 appearances for Villarreal last season, all from a central midfield position, but he will be expected to improve upon that attacking output for the Hammers.
West Ham fans are already excited about the arrival of Fornals, having watched the latest YouTube compilation of the midfielder in action.
And Fornals himself seems to be excited to play in front of 60,000 fans every other week, sharing what he has already heard about Hammers fans, when speaking during an exclusive interview with the club’s official website:
“I knew about the fans, and about the stadium, which is beautiful. The fans fill every weekend a stadium that can fit 60,000 people and I think it is important to play with the support of your fans at home. They fill it every weekend, and that is something admirable especially with the passion with which football is lived at West Ham.”
West Ham fans will be hoping that Fornals lives up to his YouTube compilation videos, and if he settles in at the London Stadium, he will surely prove to be a real coup for the Hammers.
