Exciting Hernandez update

Javier Hernandez now looks firmly on his way to West Ham as the club close in on their major striker signing of the season.

There should be no late hitches in a deal that everybody associated with the club is now eagerly awaiting to happen.

However, it is now likely that it will be next week before the signing is clinched.

ClaretandHugh learned this morning that  the delay in putting pen to paper has been because the 29 year old is currently away on his summer holidays after competing for Mexico in the Confederations Cup.

He was given an extended break by his current club Bayer Leverkusen as a result but it seems that his next stop will be London and the Hammers.

There is huge excitement inside the club and  great confidence that the Hammers have got their man after the prolific front man had previously snubbed us in favor of the Bundesliga.
