West Ham has agreed a deal with Mexico striker, Javier Hernandez otherwise known as Chicharito to return to the Premier League for $16m. According to ESPN Mexico, the 29-year-old former Manchester United player is expected to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms on Monday ahead of a move to the London club from Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen, where he had been set to enter the final year of his contract.
A club statement said: “West Ham United and Bayer Leverkusen have agreed terms for the transfer of Javier Hernandez to London Stadium. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker will fly to London in the coming days to finalise personal terms and undergo a medical with the Hammers.”
If all goes as planned, Hernandez, who became Mexico’s all-time leading goal scorer in May, could make his West Ham debut against former club Manchester United at Old Trafford on Aug. 13. The move comes after the Hammers made a splash days ago by completing a season-long loan for Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.
