Wolverhampton Wanderers should seriously consider a move for the West Ham United ace.
Wolves signed Benik Afobe from Bournemouth on Friday but, incredibly, he could already be on his way out of Molinuex, and West Ham’s Javier Hernandez could be just the man to replace him.
According to Sky Sports, Stoke City are in advanced talks to sign Afobe for around £12 million, and the Black Country outfit should use the potential proceeds to snare the Hammers hitman.
The Mexico international’s future in east London is uncertain, having experienced a difficult campaign at the London Stadium, and a move away from the club could be just what he needs to breath fire back into his stuttering career.
Hernandez joined West Ham from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £16 million, according to the Telegraph, but he has so far failed to establish himself in east London.
Wolves desperately need a proven striker after their return to the top flight, and who better than the former Manchester United goalscorer?
The 30-year-old has chalked up an impressive 144 goals in 378 career appearances, and his clinical nature in front of goal is just what the Black Country outfit need.
Hernandez is incredibly experienced in playing at the very highest level, and that could prove to be invaluable for Wolves next season.
It is unclear whether the Hammers would be prepared to sell Chicharito, but they might just be tempted into doing business if Wolves put a form offer on the table.
And if Nuno does in fact manage to bring the Mexican to Molineux, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for the club.
