Striker open to West Ham exit says agent

Javier Hernandez is open to a West Ham exit less than six months after signing for the club, according to the players forward’s agent. Hernandez joined from Bayer Leverkusen for £16m in July, but has since struggled for consistency and has scored five times in 21 appearances.

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

Hernandez is likely to be denied any exit in this window in light of fresh injury news ruling out Marko Arnautovic and Manuel Lanzini on top of Andy Carroll and Diafa Sakho who also remain injured
