Supporters of West Ham United have been gushing over the Hammers’ midfielder, Pablo Fornals, after a club post on the Spaniard.

On Tuesday afternoon, the club shared a post with quotes from the 24-year-old in which he thanked fans for their support and aired that it is because of them that the players keep belief (per West Ham), which had fans praising him.

Should Pablo Fornals be given a start against Southampton on Saturday?

Yes, he absolutely should

No, he's not good enough

The Irons signed Fornals on a five-year contract over the summer in a £24-million deal from La Liga outfit Villarreal (as per BBC).

Since his arrival in London, the Spaniard has featured in 28 games in all competitions, during which he has scored three goals and assisted three (per Transfermarkt).

However, having featured for only 114 minutes in his side’s last five Premier League outings (per Transfermarkt), supporters were frustrated that David Moyes had not played the 24-year-old more often.

What do we think?

Despite receiving a large amount of praise from supporters, Fornals, who is valued at £19.8 million (as per Transfermarkt), has been the tenth-worst performer in the Premier League for West Ham so far this term, with a 6.45/10 average rating (per WhoScored).

In the clash at Anfield, though, the Spaniard picked up a respectable 7/10 performance rating after coming on as a substitute (per football.london), which would explain the praise from supporters.
