West Ham midfielder Pablo Fornals showed fans what he could do in the 1-0 friendly win over Fulham yesterday afternoon.
The £24m recruit from Villarreal decided to play a nutmeg through his opponent’s legs before coming away with the ball:

The link up play with him, Lanzini and Anderson behind Haller is going to be naughty?

Fornals’ talent is clear for all to see, and fans will be very excited to see the Spaniard link up with the likes of Manuel Lanzini and Felipe Anderson this season.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini is certainly building a squad with a host of talented, creative players, and hopefully the club’s record signing Sebastien Haller will be able to put the chances they create away.
The Frenchman made his first appearance for the club yesterday but was unable to get off the mark despite having a chance or two during the match. He may need a few games to get up to speed before hitting his best form.
