West Ham United striker Javier Hernandez has been linked with a move away from the London Stadium.
Hernandez sparked controversy earlier this summer, when he suggested that he was looking to leave West Ham.
However, Hernandez has claimed that he is delighted to be back in West Ham training now.
“It’s great to be back,” he said. “Tuesday’s was an introduction kind of session, to try to move our legs, even though most of us have been working a little bit before we came here.
“It was good being involved, getting a touch and having a small game at the end too. I think after Wednesday, we will have the harder sessions because we need to build up a very good base so we can get ourselves into a good way physically to allow us to perform.”
The comments don’t exactly sound like something Hernandez would say if he was absolutely desperate to leave West Ham.
A space may be opening for him to break into West Ham’s starting line up too, as Marko Arnautovic’s future is uncertain.
If Arnautovic does move West Ham will have to sign a new striker, but Hernandez may be best placed to fill the void over pre-season.
Hernandez has struggled for regular game time with the Hammers, but if Manuel Pellegrini was to hand him increased starting chances he may be more inclined to stay.
