West Ham signing Pablo Fornals gets first look at London Stadium before joining training

1/8

West Ham’s newest arrival Pablo Fornals has taken a first look at his new home after arriving in London last week.

The Spaniard, who joined the Hammers from Villarreal in a deal worth £24million last month, won the U21 European Championships, scoring twice along the way.

Due to his international exploits Fornals has been given an extended break while his new teammates have begun pre-season training.

Declan Rice, who featured in the Nations League finals with England following the end of the season, joined up with the squad in Switzerland over the weekend.

Fornals will not join up with the squad until they return from China, where they will take part in the Premier League Asia Trophy, when both Fabian Balbuena and Arthur Masuaku will return after summers on international duty.

The 23-year-old midfielder is taking time out of his holiday to get a look at London and the Hammers’ stadium in Stratford. Having had a tour of the London Stadium on Friday, Fornals posted a picture of himself on Instagram taking in the sights around the capital.
