According to a report from the Express, West Ham boss David Moyes is weighing up a bid from Napoli for Pablo Fornals. And some Hammers fans have taken to Twitter in reaction to the speculation.

The 24-year-old joined the Hammers from Villarreal in the summer of 2019 for around £25 million (The Telegraph).
Fornals initially struggled to settle at the London Stadium, but he ended up being an ever present feature for Manuel Pellegrini.
When the Chilean was moved on and replaced by David Moyes in December last year, the Spaniard once again found himself on the bench.
The 24-year-old play-maker continued to work hard both on and off the pitch, however. And he was a regular fixture in Moyes’s side when football returned in June right up until the end of the season.
Sure, Fornals didn’t show his best form by any means. But his impressive work ethic cannot be discounted.
There is a feeling around West Ham that he will come good this season. And giving up on him too soon may end up being a big mistake.
But considering our current financial problems, it would come as no surprise if the Hammers owners cashed in on the former Villarreal ace.
And it seems as though the West Ham fans are split on the prospect of selling Fornals this summer.
