Javier Hernandez reportedly wants to leave West Ham United in the summer transfer window.

West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini has suggested to BBC Sport that Javier Hernandez may not be at the club for long.

While Pellegrini has explained that Hernandez was not in the West Ham squad against Norwich City on Saturday as he is returning from injury, he has not given a definitive answer as to whether the former Manchester United striker will be at the London Stadium after the summer transfer window closes next week.

Pellegrini told BBC Sport about Hernandez: “Javier was not in the squad because he is coming back from an injury. In 48 hours more the window will be closed. If he stays he will be an important player for us.”

Leaving West Ham United

Pellegrini’s aforementioned comments suggest that there is a very good chance that Hernandez will not be at West Ham after the summer transfer window closes next week.

After all, if the former Manchester City boss was certain, then he would have made it abundantly clear.

According to Football.London, Sevilla are interested in signing the Mexico international striker, who is valued by West Ham at £7.2 million and who has asked the Premier League club to let him leave.

Following the signings of Sebastien Haller and Albian Ajeti in the summer transfer window, the 31-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at West Ham, and one can understand why he reportedly wants to leave.
