‘Chicharito’ hits the wage jackpot

Chicharito’s switch to the Hammers is understood to have cost the club around £120k a week plus add ons.

ClaretandHugh has learned that the little Mexican has landed a deal which will put him in advance of the club’s previous highest earner Dimitri Payet with the bonus clauses.

It has emerged from our insiders that the club has invested like never before to land their ‘must have’ player and that with appearance money, goal-scoring bonuses and additional extras Little Pea could hit the £140k a week he was first reported to be demanding.

The club has gone all the way to grab the player who claims he had no hesitation in joining us once it became clear he was wanted declaring his respect for this “historic” club.

And the response across the social media networks appears to show that at last the Hammers have a genuine hero from whom 20 goals a season would not be considered an unreasonable return.

Former Hammer Frank McAvennie in welcoming the move said: ” This is the new Tony Cottee and I can see him and Diafra Sakho causing real problems to every PL defence.”
