West Ham United boss David Moyes has left Pablo Fornals in no uncertain terms what he wants to see from now on.

After a difficult start, Fornals has been one of West Ham’s best players over the winter period.

He bagged another assist and goal in West Ham’s 2-0 FA Cup win over Gillingham last time out.

That means the Spaniard has scored in every competition for the Hammers this season.

Fornals to the fore

The £24million summer signing is really starting to prove his worth.

After winning the Euro Under 21 Championship with Spain last summer, the playmaker is finally threatening to live up to the big billing he received from pundit Guillem Balague.

Moyes has been impressed with Fornals. But the no-nonsense Scot has pulled no punches over what he is demanding from him (whufc.com).

“The biggest thing I can say about Pablo Fornals is that his work-rate is really honest,” Moyes told whufc.com.

Moyes reveals demands for ‘honest’ Pablo

“I’d like him to show me a bit more Spanish flair at times and the ability to get goals, like he did there, so we’re demanding that of him.

“But I have to say his work-rate when he came on against Bournemouth and again tonight was very good.”

West Ham fans have grown fond of the 23-year-old. But they will be pleased to see Moyes placing greater demands on his players.

Pellegrini’s laid back style wasn’t getting the best out of Spaniard

After the laid back management style of Manuel Pellegrini it is just what the Hammers have needed.

Moyes may not have been the most popular appointment.

Bit it is very much a case of so far so good second time around.

West Ham fans know, though, there are bigger tests to come.
