West Ham to sign Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez

West Ham are interested in signing Manchester United Forward Javier Hernandez according to a report by the Metro.

 

The Red devils rejected a £9 million bid from West Ham for the Mexico International last month.

The Hammers manager Slaven Bilic remains keen to reinforce his striking options as Striker Andy Carroll is sidelined until October and could make a renewed bid for Hernandez in the near future.

The 27-year-old was expected to be heading out of Old Trafford this summer – after being sent on loan to Real Madrid last season – but following the sale of Robin van Persie to Fenerbahce and end of Radamel Falcao’s loan from Monaco, Hernandez may be kept on to provide competition to Wayne Rooney.

Javier Hernandez, who joined United in 2010 from Guadalajara, could be tempted to move on this summer, in order to play regular first-team football, having slipped down United’s pecking order in recent seasons.

Javier Hernandez scored seven goals in 23 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid last season.
