Javier Hernandez could be set to end his West Ham nightmare early.
The Telegraph claimed earlier this week that David Moyes’ side were willing to listen to offers for the 29-year-old striker, just months after luring him to east London from German outfit Bayer Leverkusen.
Scoring twice in just his second outing during a 3-2 loss to Southampton, Hernandez has found the back of the net just twice more despite making a total of 21 appearances in all competitions for the Hammers.
Now, with Andy Carroll back in goalscoring form and Mark Arnautovic scoring five goals in his last six games, as well as the promising Toni Martinez coming through the ranks, Hernandez could be offloaded this month.
It now appears that Los Angeles FC, managed by former Swansea boss Bob Bradley, want to lure the Mexican to the States in order to spearhead their inaugural season in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer.
The report claims West Ham could end up pricing Los Angeles out of a move, as they are keen to recuperate all £16million they spent on Hernandez last summer. The sale of Diafra Sakho could also scupper a deal.
The newly-created side is different to LA Galaxy, the side that has seen David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane turn out for in recent years.
In what is an expansion in the MLS, the Western Conference now boasts 12 sides while the Eastern Conference remains at 11. A move to Bradley’s side would see Hernandez team up with Mexico teammate Carlos Vela, who has joined from Real Sociedad.
The 2018 MLS season begins on March 3.
