Chicharito has hardly made the desired impact at West Ham.
Turkish outlet Fanatik have claimed that Besiktas president Fikret Orman is to fly to London to thrash out a loan-to-buy deal for West Ham United striker Javier Hernandez ahead of the January transfer window.
Hernandez, 30, has struggled at West Ham since joining the Premier League club from German side Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2017.
The 106-time Mexico international has managed just 10 goals in his 43 West Ham appearances, only 23 of which have been starts. He has failed to live up to the hype that surrounded his move to the Hammers in the first place.
The former Manchester United striker was viewed as the striker West Ham have been crying out for when he joined, signing a three-year contract Spotrac claim is worth a huge £140,000 a week.
But niggling injuries and a constant change of managers has seen Hernandez fall down the pecking order, with Manuel Pellegrini preferring to play Marko Arnautovic as the club’s centre-forward instead of Hernandez.
Now, Besiktas are looking to offer Hernandez an escape route. The two clubs have done business in recent years, with winger Gokhan Tore joining West Ham on loan in 2016, only for the ex-Chelsea man to also struggle at the London Stadium.
