Chicharito receives big vote of confidence

Javier Hernandez has received a big vote of confidence from supporters with over  85% wanting the Mexican striker to stay beyond the winter.

Questioned by Spanish newspaper Marca last week on whether he will be weighing up his future in the Summer Hernandez replied: “I don’t know, even this winter!

“I want to play, to participate as much as possible and I have the ability to win a place but I need to respect the decisions being taken and for that reason I am not closing the door on moving this winter.

There is an exit door and another in the summer. I am happy here but I want to play more.”

Pressed further on whether he could push for a winter move Hernandez added: “I am not ruling it out but at the same time it needs to be for a top club and that is the case now or in the summer.”

Chicharito scored two goals on Saturday Newcastle to take his season tally to four from ten league games.

With 1,155 Claret and Hugh readers voting in Sunday’s poll so far, 986 (85.37%) supporters want the 30-year-old striker to stay a Hammer beyond January with 169 (14.63%) saying he can go.  Hernandez signed a three-year contract with West Ham in the summer of 2017 said to be worth up to £140,000 per week.
