Club career



Málaga


Born in Castellón de la Plana, Valencian Community, Fornals joined Málaga CF's youth setup in 2012 at the age of 16, from CD Castellón.[3] He made his senior debut with the reserves in the 2014–15 season, in Tercera División.

Fornals' first competitive match with the first team – and in La Liga – occurred on 26 September 2015, when he started in a 0–0 away draw against Real Madrid.[4] Two months and two days later, he scored his first top-flight goal in a 2–2 draw with Andalusian neighbours Granada CF at La Rosaleda Stadium, finding the net four minutes after replacing Duda.[5]

On 4 December 2016, Fornals scored a brace in a 2–2 draw at Valencia CF.[6]


Villarreal


On 24 July 2017, having paid his own €12 million buyout clause to leave Málaga,[7] Fornals moved to fellow league side Villarreal CF, a club he already represented as a youth, agreeing to a five-year contract.[8] The following 13 January, he scored a late chip after a counterattack to give his new team their first-ever win against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium (1–0).[9]

On 26 September 2018, Fornals opened the scoring in a league fixture away to Athletic Bilbao with a dipping volley from 50 yards, in an eventual 3–0 victory.[10][11]


West Ham United


On 14 June 2019, Fornals signed for West Ham United on a five-year contract for a transfer fee reported to be £24 million, making him the English club's second most expensive signing.[12][13] He made his Premier League debut on 10 August, in a 5–0 home defeat by Manchester City coming on as a half-time substitute for Michail Antonio.[14] He scored his first goal for his new team on 27 August, in a 2–0 victory over Newport County for the second round of the EFL Cup.[15]


International career


On 28 March 2016, Fornals won his first cap with the Spain under-21s by playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 win against Norway at the Estadio Nueva Condomina.[16] On 17 May, he was called up to the full squad by Vicente del Bosque for a friendly with Bosnia and Herzegovina.[17] He made his debut 12 days later, replacing Mikel San José in the 3–1 victory at the AFG Arena in St. Gallen, Switzerland.[18]

Fornals was a member of the team which won the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in June.[19] In the tournament held in Italy and San Marino, he scored in group stage defeats of Belgium (2–1)[20] and Poland (5–0).[21]

In June 2021, Fornals was called up as a standby for Spain’s UEFA Euro 2020 squad following Sergio Busquets' positive test for COVID-19.[22] Making his first start on 8 September, against Kosovo in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier, he scored his first goal for the national side when he opened a 2–0 win in Pristina.[23]


Personal life


Pablo and partner Tania Lara have a son, born in November 2021.[24]
