West Ham United revealed their intention to sign Javier Hernandez on Thursday.
West Ham United announced a deal to sign Javier Hernandez on Thursday evening.
If he passes a medical, the 29-year-old, who joins from Bayer Leverkusen, will be arguably West Ham’s biggest signing of the summer transfer window.
Fans of the East London outfit have been crying out for his arrival ever since speculation of a £13 million switch broke last month.
Indeed, Irons supporters are obviously delighted, but so too is Mexico team-mate Carlos Salcedo, who sent a message to his compatriot on Twitter.
Translated into English, the tweet reads: “Much success and best wishes brother! As they say, follow and you are still in the big LEAGUES. Big hug and break it as you know!”
The 23-year-old was plying his trade in the same country as Hernandez last season after joining Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt on loan in January from Guadalajara.
The ex-Manchester United hitman, who spent time at Real Madrid, hit 59 goals in 156 outings for the Red Devils and West Ham fans will be delighted if he scales similar heights with the Hammers during his spell in the capital.
