Rumors persist that Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez could yet transfer to Valencia this window — if the Spanish club is willing to pony up something like $15 million for the 30-year-old. However, with Marko Arnautovic unsettled at West Ham and Chicharito just returning from a back injury, the Mexican striker may yet have a massive role to play for Manuel Pellegrini’s side over the run-in.
A return of four goals in 15 Premier League appearances has contributed to stories of Chicharito’s unhappiness in East London, but Mexico’s all-time leading scorer is still averaging a goal every 187 minutes in the competition, which paints a slightly friendlier picture of his campaign so far.
Regardless of all the noise surrounding him, Chicharito is “more focused than ever…”
And he’s also been speaking with West Ham’s official YouTube channel, revealing his top five Mexican players of all time:
