Premier League club West Ham United are on the verge of making their first outfield signing of this summer’s transfer window according to the Guardian.

The Hammers want to sign a new midfielder this summer and they have identified Villarreal midfielder Pablo Fornals as the man for the job.

West Ham United have already signed two goalkeepers this summer, but they are yet to make an outfield signing and Pablo Fornals is on course to be the Hammers’ first transfer outside the goalkeeping department.

The East Londoners have already signed Spanish goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez on a free transfer from La Liga club Espanyol as well as David Martin from English Championship outfit Millwall.
