West Ham United are said to be interested in Porto midfielder Hector Herrera.
West Ham United may just have an advantage in the race to sign Hector Herrera from Porto, due to his relationship with Javier Hernandez.
Everton are said to be competing with West Ham for Herrera, but the potential to link up with Hernandez could be tempting for the Mexican central midfielder.
Herrera and Hernandez are known to be good friends, after teaming up with each other at international level for a number of years.
Hernandez and Herrera have been two of Mexico’s stalwarts for many years, and if West Ham do want the midfielder then they would be wise to tell the striker to encourage his international teammate to join him at the London Stadium.
West Ham would certainly benefit from Herrera’s arrival, as he could help strengthen Manuel Pellegrini’s midfield options.
And at that price West Ham could be securing one of best value-for-money signings around, if Hernandez can help convince the midfielder to move.
