Hammers fans loved what Fornals did on Instagram on the weekend

West Ham midfielder Pablo Fornals hosted an Instagram live video over the weekend and many of the club’s fans loved it for one key reason.

The playmaker, who only joined the club last summer from Spanish La Liga side Villarreal for £24m (BBC Sport), had West Ham’s famous song ‘Forever Blowing Bubbles’ playing in the background.

The song is played at every home match for the Hammers as the players emerge from the tunnel before a match with hundreds of bubbles blown.

Fornals has been in a decent run of form, scoring against Liverpool at Anfield during the 3-2 defeat and then providing two assists during the 3-1 home victory over Southampton.

He’s earned a place in the starting XI ahead of Manuel Lanzini, whose poor form has seen him drop to the bench.

The iconic song was heard on Fornals’ live video and many West Ham fans on Twitter were buzzing to hear it.
