West Ham United are closing in on Mexican striker Javier Hernandez.
On Tuesday, West Ham confirmed the signing of Joe Hart from Manchester City on a season-long loan deal.
The Hammers have also agreed a fee of £20 million plus up to £4 million in add-ons with Stoke City for Marko Arnautovic, reported by The Telegraph.
And the week could get even better for them if they sign the former Manchester United striker, who is keen to return to the Premier League.

The report claims that Hernandez appears to have “settled on personal terms with the club”. A fee of around £13 million (his release clause) has been mooted for Leverkusen to sell the 29-year-old striker.
The Hernandez transfer saga has taken a late twist this week with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly registering their interest in the striker.

According to reports from The Mirror, Spurs are monitoring West Ham’s move for Hernandez, and the north London club are said to be considering hijacking the move.
However, Hernandez stands to earn £145k-per-week wages if he moves to West Ham, according to the Daily Express, while Spurs may not be willing to break their £100,000-a-week strict wage policy for him.
Hernandez has scored 39 times during his two seasons with Leverkusen.
