West Ham striker open to January move, says agent

 

The agent of Javier Hernandez has revealed his client is open to leaving West Ham this month after failing to make any impact during his six months at the club.

 

Hernandez only joined West Ham from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer in a deal worth £16m but the former Manchester United striker has dropped down the pecking order since David Moyes’ arrival.

 

The Mexico international has only started three of Moyes’ 16 matches in charge of West Ham and his agent, Eduardo Hernandez, has revealed his client has personally asked for a move away this month.

 

“There are a number of clubs interested in his services, he’s a player everyone knows and is incredibly professional,” he told FOX Sports.

 

“Our primary focus is a club in which [Chicharito] can play the most games possible. That’s the most important.

 

“Javier has asked personally for it. He’s commented, stated and demanded that we look for a club that really needs a player with his characteristics because what he wants is to play and play and play.”

However, Hernandez may not be allowed to leave West Ham as their injury problems have mounted in the last week leaving Moyes with few options in attack.

 

Hernandez came off the bench to score West Ham’s equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Bournemouth at the weekend, which was just his fifth goal of the season.

 

Despite only started 12 league games this season, only Marko Arnautovic (6) has scored more goals for the Hammers.
