da prosport bet: As reported by The Daily Mirror, West Ham United are set to make an ambitious move for Bayer Leverkusen star Javier Hernandez.
What’s the word?
da casino: It’s no secret that the Hammers need an elite striker to lead the line next season after their woes in attack last term, preferable one who has a proven track record of scoring at the highest level.
Step forward Mexico international Javier Hernandez. The Mirror reckon that West Ham are interested in activating a £13m release clause in his contract to bring him back to the English Premier League, two years after he left Manchester United.
The paper say that the Irons have scouted him extensively at this year’s Confederations Cup and on the back of that are ready to commit to the deal.
The hero West Ham need?
While things didn’t quite pan out how he’d like at Man United, the fact remains that Hernandez is still an elite goalscorer, capable of performing in the English top-flight.
Since he left Old Trafford on a permanent basis he has scored 39 goals in 76 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen which is a healthy return. When you consider he’s also scored 48 goals in 94 international caps, there’s enough evidence to suggest he would also bang in the goals for the Irons should they sign him.
They need a poacher, an instinctive goalscorer to stick away chances on a consistent basis and Hernandez appears to tick all the boxes should they be able to get the deal done.
