West Ham boss Moyes again talks up Fornals for ECL final

West Ham boss David Moyes has again stated Pablo Fornals is in the frame to start next week's Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina.

Fornals was again impressive in defeat at Leicester City on Sunday.

Moyes said, "Pablo manipulates the ball and finds a way of getting a goal quite often.

"He's been a bit unlucky for long parts of the season but he's playing well. He played really well at Alkmaar, he played really well against Leeds United and I thought he played well today. He's certainly putting himself in the frame to get a start because of how well he's doing and he's scoring goals, which is the thing we need.

"We've got a near fully-fit squad, they're all in really good spirits. Round the Club everybody is excited, but we now need to make sure we keep the excitement up, but get it ready and get the players at the right levels to go out and perform as well as we'll need to do, because we're up against a really tough opponent and it will take a mammoth effort to see us win the trophy."
