West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Javier Hernandez.
The 29-year-old hitman is out of contract with Bayer Leverkusen next summer and, according to Bild, £13 million would be enough to prise him away from Germany.
Both London clubs clearly need a striker.
Winger Michail Antonio, who netted nine times, finished as West Ham’s leading goalscorer in the Premier League last season, whereas Vincent Janssen, Harry Kane’s back-up, scored only twice from open play across 38 games in all competitions for Tottenham.
Hernandez is a two-time Premier League winner following a successful spell with Manchester United, and Spurs and West Ham fans would love to see the Mexico international representing their respective teams next season.
The Telegraph reported that the Irons were willing to pay £20 million to sign Arsenal hitman Olivier Giroud, who is 16 months older than Hernandez.
Truth is, the Mexican, who scored once in the Confederations Cup, would be a class signing for both clubs, but it remains to be seen who will nab him.
