Valencia manager Marcelino has said that West Ham United striker Javier Hernandez wants to join his club in the January transfer window, as quoted on Skysports.com.

According to Sky Sports, Hernandez wants to leave West Ham this month due to lack playing time at the Premier League outfit.

Valencia are reportedly interested in securing the services of the former Manchester United striker, and manager Marcelino has said that the 30-year-old wants to join Los Che.

Skysports.com quotes Marcelino as saying about Hernandez: “Chicharito is an option. He is not getting much game-time and he is willing to join us, but the situation is complicated.

“The little information I have suggests to me that West Ham are only looking to sell the player.”

Leaving West Ham United

Hernandez is a very good striker, and one can understand why the Mexico international reportedly wants to leave West Ham in the January transfer window.

The 30-year-old is still very much good enough to play for a top club in England or in Spain, and he will be a good signing for Valencia this month.

According to WhoScored, the Mexico international striker has made seven starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premier League for West Ham so far this season, scoring four goals and providing one assist in the process.

Valencia are seventh in the La Liga table at the moment with 29 points from 21 matches.
