Real Betis midfielder Fornals shows loyalty to West Ham: Declares preference for Hammers over other Premier League clubs

Fornals expresses his loyalty to his current club by stating that he cannot envision himself playing for another team in England.

He told the Athletic: "I had interest from another Premier League team, but there was no way I could join another club in England. It would be strange to play against the club I love.

"It's easier to live in London than in other European countries, but if it's not West Ham there's no chance. Even if it was Manchester City or Manchester United ... I can't do it. I can't imagine myself scoring or celebrating a goal against West Ham.

"I joined a year before the pandemic started and spent a lot of time without my family. When I needed that bit of affection in difficult times, the club was always there for me. I am very grateful to have been at West Ham during one of the most successful times in the club's history. We qualified for Europe three years in a row , we won a trophy and even the fans have a chant for me."
