Fornals on a high

|

Pablo Fornals has accepted and admitted that he is going to need some time to aduust to life in the Premier League after arriving from Spain.

But he will have been helped by the match at Newport County which saw him demosntrate great movement at time along with his first goal for the club.

And he is virtually certain to remain in the squad for the game against Norwich City at the weekend which may well give the manager an opportunity to give him some valuable playing time.

After spending around £25 million on a player that Pelle and Mario Husillos were tracking for a long time the fans are not unnaturally keen to see what he’s got.

And their appetites were whetted even more as he started to strut his stuff against the League Two in Wales and hopefully his confidence will now have taken the sort of boost it needs to see him stepping up to his new career in the world’s top league. .

Commenting on the game at https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2019/august/29-august/fornals-i-kept-trying-score-goal    the Spanish under 21 international said: “I’m so happy. I tried to score with three chances and I got the goal with the third.

“The first one hit the post, the second the goalkeeper stopped the ball, so with the third I’m so happy I’m able to get my first goal in competition.

“It was nice that the third one came so close to the goal! I need to score, I feel good in the team and these little things help me to stay happy.

“We’ve won two in a row and we need to keep on winning to achieve our aims and to be successful.”
