Javier Hernandez will undergo his medical at West Ham United on Tuesday, according to a report.

According to Sky Sports Transfer Centre (posted at 18:38), Javier Hernandez will fly into London on Tuesday to undergo his medical with West Ham United.

West Ham are on the brink of a major signing after co-chairman David Gold confirmed on Twitter this week that a deal had been agreed with Bayer Leverkusen for the hitman.

The Telegraph have reported that the Irons will pay £20 million for the 29-year-old, who will earn approximately £140,000 per week in East London.

Naturally, Hammers fans are delighted at the prospect of signing the former Manchester United man and, according to a report posted on Sky Sports Transfer Centre, he jets into the capital early next week to officially join, pending a medical.

It is turning into quite a good window for West Ham, whose fans have spent much of the summer frustrated over the lack of movement.

But there is renewed optimism now as Hernandez prepares to follow Joe Hart and Marko Arnautovic – who joined in a club-record £24 million move – to the club after the duo signed up this week.
