Pablo Fornals: This season toughest of West Ham career

Pablo Fornals says this season has been the toughest of his West Ham career.

The midfielder was asked by AS about his emotional response to scoring against Bournemouth.

Fornals told AS: "This is my fourth season here. In the first I played a lot. But this year, perhaps to my detriment and also to the merit of my teammates, who have been in great shape for a large part of the year, because in the end I didn't have the minutes that I had before.

"But I always have ambition and I insist, I never gave up. It hasn't been an easy season, but when you stop to watch it cold, life doesn't revolve around you and if your teammate is doing well, all you can do is push for when it's your turn. And it has gone well for me, because in recent weeks I have recovered sensations.

"Four years is a long time. I arrived here after playing a Euro Cup with the U21s. I have played many games, many minutes in the Premier League. That is something that I will always take with me, being able to say that I did not return after six months. I've had my moments, I've been a father here, I'm getting married while I'm here… for me this experience in West Ham is very positive."
