Pablo Fornals is reportedly pushing for a move from West Ham to Real Betis in the January transfer window, according to ElDesmarque. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder has allegedly already agreed to join the La Liga club and is making every effort to leave the London Stadium.

The Spanish international is reportedly willing to take a pay cut to join Real Betis, with West Ham looking for about £6.2million to sanction the move as the transfer deadline approaches. The two clubs are said to be apart on their valuation of the player, making the deal a last-minute scramble.

While it’s never ideal to see a player attempting to force a move, Fornals’ desire for more regular football is understandable. His willingness to take a pay cut to return to Spain is commendable, and hopefully an agreement can be reached for the benefit of all parties involved.

If the transfer goes through, Fornals would leave West Ham with the support and best wishes of the fans after his dedicated contributions to the team in recent years.
