West Ham set to seal Pablo Fornals’ signing this week

West Ham are close to finalising a summer move for Pablo Fornals.

The highly rated La Liga midfielder is expected to join the Hammers for a fee of around £24m.

According to Guardian, Fornals was a target for Mario Husillos, the West Ham director of football and he has moved quickly to agree on a deal with Villarreal.

The report adds that the two clubs have an agreement and the player will discuss his personal terms now.

The transfer should be completed by the end of the week.

The 23-year-old has done well in Spain and he will improve Pellegrini’s midfield next season.
