Javier Hernandez: West Ham want deal done quickly, negotiations underway

WEST HAM want to seal a move swiftly for Javier Hernandez so they can begin fixing their frontline, reports claim.
Slaven Bilic’s top priority in the summer transfer window is to add more firepower.

The Hammers are looking to bring in two strikers capable of leading their attack next season.

With injury-prone Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho having proved unreliable, attention has recently turned to Hernandez.

The former Manchester United striker has Premier League experience and a solid record in front of goal.

While Chelsea’s Michy Batshuayi, Manchester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho and Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud have been targeted so far, West Ham have been forced to remain patient while their rivals find replacements first.
At Bayer Leverkusen though, The Telegraph claim West Ham have been given encouragement a deal can be struck for Hernandez.

The Mexico star, who is now finished with his international duty at the Confederations Cup, has a £13million release clause in his contract.

The Hammers can comfortably meet that fee, and Leverkusen have not made any move to offer Hernandez an extension.




He has just 12 months remaining on his current deal, but the 29-year-old has few clubs chasing his services.
As a result, the Mirror say West Ham want to move quickly to land Hernandez, having been left frustrated in the market up to now.

Talks are said to be underway with Hernandez over a return to England, with wage demands potentially the only sticking point.

The relatively cheap fee, though, would mean West Ham could still pursue another permanent deal for a striker.

The Telegraph add Alexandre Lacazette’s imminent arrival at Arsenal has left the Hammers optimistic Giroud can be lured to the London Stadium too.
