Pablo Fornals set to join West Ham for 27 million euros LaLiga Villarreal willing to sell this summer

West Ham United are set to pay 27 million euros to bring Villarreal midfielder Pablo Fornals to the Premier League.

The 23-year-old could be the first of several outgoings from the Yellow Submarine this summer after a disappointing season which saw them get nowhere near qualifying for European football.

West Ham did attempt to bring him to the London Stadium in January, but Villarreal were unwilling to sell as they battled against relegation in LaLiga Santander.

Now, the Hammers have made a bid that doesn't reach Fornals' 33 million euro release clause but one that does meet Villarreal's valuation of the player.

Fornals' release clause was raised when interest was shown in him in January, which also forced Villarreal to raise his weekly wage.
