According to David Ornstein, Pablo Fornals will now go through a physical in London before completing his transfer from West Ham to Real Betis.
On February 1, the journalist from The Athletic announced on Twitter that the 27-year-old has been offered a five-and-a-half-year deal in La Liga following an agreement between the clubs for a cost of €8 million [£6.8 million].
“Real Betis reach agreement with West Ham United to sign Pablo Fornals,” Ornstein stated. Real Betis will give WHUFC a €8 million price for the 27-year-old offensive midfielder.The Spaniard will have a physical in London before completing the Deadline Day deal on a five-year contract.
On the last day of the window, the fan favorite and fellow attacker Said Benrahma are expected to depart the team.
It is likely too late for Fornals to go to Seville and then receive a medical at this point in the day, so the emphasis is on him to pass one in the UK and get everything finalized before the deadline.
The amount of money involved appears to be decreasing with each update, and it is beginning to appear low since the club activated a one-year contract extension in order to obtain a better price.
However, the athlete appears to be in favor of returning to his own nation, and as Tim Steidten continues to refine the team, his chances of playing in the London Stadium will probably only get worse.
The main focus over the next several hours will be on whether the German can advance on that inside the present window, with Maxwel Cornet possibly set to go as well.
