Journalist now claims one West Ham transfer could actually still go through
Pablo Fornals could still leave West Ham for Real Betis – even after the transfer window slammed shut on Thursday night.
That is according to Jacob Steinberg of the Guardian.
So, what is the situation involving Pablo Fornals at West Ham? Let’s take a look…
Pablo Fornals could still leave West Ham
Well, the Spain international appeared to have joined Real Betis on Thursday.
The reliable Fabrizio Romano that Fornals had signed a contract with the Spanish outfit, although there was confusion when the 27-year-old arrived at the London Stadium as part of the squad to face Bournemouth.
It has since been by Ramón Alarcón – Chief Executive Officer of Real Betis – that West Ham experienced some “issues” when it came to paperwork.
Now – however – the deal could still go through.
Steinberg on X (previously known as Twitter): “West Ham maintain paperwork on Fornals was properly submitted – there is a chance his move to Betis will still go through.”
The West Ham No.8 has made appearances across all competitions this season – failing to register a goal involvement.
Pablo Fornals can still be of use to David Moyes
Even if West Ham and Real Betis fail to get the deal back on track, Fornals can play a role in the second half of the 2023/24 campaign.
The Spaniard is a fan favourite at the London Stadium – picking up the affectionate nickname of Cockney Cazorla – and despite a lack of starts this season, there is still a quality footballer in there who can contribute at key times.
West Ham have the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 to focus on in addition to Premier League action, so Moyes will surely need all hands on deck as fatigue is bound to set in.
Therefore, we think Fornals could still write a new chapter in his career at West Ham this season if his move to Real Betis does completely collapse.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as anything could happen.
