WEST HAM ace Pablo Fornals is set to sign for Real Betis.
According to transfer insider Ben Jacobs, Betis have agreed a £7million deal with the Hammers for Fornals, 27.
The playmaker made 23 appearances this season under David Moyes.
However, SunSport understands Fornals arrived at the London Stadium alongside his West Ham team-mates in full club tracksuit ahead of this evening's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

A Hammers spokesperson said: “West Ham United can confirm that the Deadline Day deal for Saïd Benrahma to join Olympique Lyonnais was not concluded ahead of the deadline, with a deal unable to be completed before 11pm.”
Lyon - who had a camera ready to do a live interview with Benrahma - will appeal to Fifa.
They thought they had a loan deal with an option to buy for £15m in June.
Fulham were also interested in the Algeria international.
However, West Ham turned the Cottagers down as they offered a simple loan deal.
Fornals is now set to reunite with former manager Manuel Pellegrini at Betis.
Pellegrini managed the former Spain international for a few months when he was in charge of the East Londoners.
Fornals joined West Ham in 2019 from Villarreal, just six months before the ex-Manchester City boss was sacked.
The versatile midfielder has 23 goals and 19 assists in 203 appearances.
