The 30-year-old, who previously admitted he had considered leaving the Hammers last January, is once again open to a move for the sake of game time.
Javier Hernandez has once again gone on record to state that he is prepared to quit West Ham next year if he does not get more minutes.
The 30-year-old striker told The Mirror back in February that he had asked former Hammers boss David Moyes if he could leave during the previous month’s transfer window.
Chicharito was initially given plenty of game time following his arrival at the London Stadium from Bayer Leverkusen ahead of the start of the 2017/18 season.
However, a hamstring injury on Mexico duty in November 2017 saw the forward ruled out for four Hammers league fixtures, after which he featured sporadically.
All in all, Hernandez started just 19 games in all competitions last season, according to Transfermarkt.
It was widely expected in some quarters that the Mexican would get more game time under new manager Manuel Pellegrini, but this has not materialised.
Chicharito has only started two league games for the Hammers this season and has just one goal to his name, scored in the 4-2 victory over Burnley at the start of November.
In an interview with Spanish outlet Marca, Hernandez was asked whether he would consider leaving the club next summer if he did not get more game time.
He replied: “I don’t know, even this winter! I want to play, to participate as much as possible and I have the ability to win a place but I need to respect the decisions being taken and for that reason I am not closing the door on moving this winter. There is an exit door and another in the summer. I am happy here but I want to play more.”
Bold comments indeed from the former Manchester United and Real Madrid man, and some West Ham fans took to Twitter to give their thoughts on the matter:
