Report: Hammers chase Hernandez
According to the Mirror, the former Manchester United striker is understood to be open to a return to England with the Irons ready to hand him he opportunity by meeting the £13 million release clause in his contract at Bayer Leverkusen.
It’s claimed that West Ham have had the player watched closely at the Confederations Cup in Russia and the Mirror claims his performances. on the back of a season in which he scored 11 goals in 26 appearances, have convinced them to make their move.
The move makes sense as the Irons were linked strongly with moves for the player in 2015 when he snubbed us for a move to the Bundesliga
And it squares with information we received earlier this evening when we were told: “We have moved on from Anthony Modeste and Cedric Bakambu and are now chasing other targets.
Modeste was quoted to us at £40 million which is crazy given his age and Bakumba has decided to stay with his club Villareal.
