West Ham are reportedly interested in signing Villarreal midfielder Pablo Fornlas this summer.
According to Spanish outlet AS, relayed in an article by Sport Witness, the midfielder looks destined to move to the Premier League, with the Hammers now the only side keen on the Spaniard after Tottenham dropped their interest.
The 23-year-old has been one of Villarreal’s standout performers over the past two seasons, becoming a regular under Javier Calleja.
Fornals’ consistent displays have attracted interest from Manuel Pellegrini, who is thought to be keen on bringing the player to the London Stadium ahead of the new campaign.
The midfielder reportedly has a release clause of €25m, which is certainly a fee in West Ham’s range.
The former Malaga star is known for his eye for goal from a central midfield role and possess plenty of ability in regards to creating chances for others, something Hammers fans would take to at the London Stadium next season if a deal can be done.
