Micah Richards praised West Ham ace Pablo Fornals, when speaking during Sky Sports’ production of last night’s game (Saturday October 31st, 19:55).

The 24-year-old joined the Hammers from Villarreal in the summer of 2019 for around £25 million (The Telegraph).

And despite initially struggling to establish himself at the London Stadium, he is now considered a vital part of David Moyes’ team.

Fornals puts in a real shift when he plays. And that is why he is so popular at West Ham. The Spaniard’s offensive numbers are pretty impressive too.

The former Villarreal man has racked up four goals and seven assists in 43 Premier League games (Transfermarkt).

The 24-year-old is incredibly frustrating at times. But he clearly has the talent and the work-rate to match.

Micah Richards is clearly a very big fan of Fornals. The Sky Sports pundit showered the Spaniard with praise last night:

“Fornals has been absolutely on fire. He gets in some really good positions.”

There is still a lot more to come from Fornals. He will undoubtedly improve when he is played centrally in his correct position.

And that time may not be too far away now with Said Benrahma pushing for a start in the left wing position.

The Spaniard should focus on improving his final ball. There was an instance last night against Liverpool when he should have played Jarrod Bowen in for a tap-in when the score was still 1-1.

And if the 24-year-old manages to improve that side of his game, perhaps he will reach an entirely new level at West Ham.
