Sullivan hails Chicharito as “potentially our greatest”

David Sullivan has made a claim that Javier Hernandez could be one of the greatest players to have ever signed for the club.

And given the Mexican’s record at the top of the game it would be very hard to disagree with such an assessment.

Chicharito becomes the 33rd striker signed by the club since Sullivan and David Gold took over and we are due to hit the jackpot!

Sullivan said: “He is potentially the best player to ever come to the club. He is probably the best proven goalscorer we have signed.

He’s done it in the Premier League with Manchester United. His goal-scoring was a goal every two-and-a-half games, so that’s a pretty good record.”

Sullivan also refused to rule out a move for England and Arsenal star Jack Wilshere, among others in August.

The Hammers chief added: “I can’t comment on players from other clubs and we have a lot of good midfielders at the club, but never say never.”
