West Ham midfielder Pablo Fornals says the players feel ready for the season resuming this week.

A series of three warm-up matches, which brought wins over EFL League One side Cambridge United and Italian Serie A outfit Udinese, ended on Saturday with a trip to fellow Premier League team Fulham, and Fornals was pleased with the workout.

Jarrod Bowen's second half strike meant the east Londoners returned home with a 1-1 draw and the feeling they are prepared for the challenges which lie ahead.

“These games have been important for us to build up to Arsenal," he told the club's website. “We know it's not the Premier League [in these warm-up games] but we've played against great teams and we've had good results.

“I think it brings us a positive mentality because we need and deserve [the results] after very good weeks of working hard.

“It felt good out there on the pitch. I think we did a good preparation against great teams. It was a big test on Saturday to play against another Premier League team and I think we did quite well.

“We had some really nice work, we tried to do what we've been doing in training and that's the most important thing."
