# West Ham rivalled by Spurs and Besiktas for Hernandez

West Ham appear to be holding a serious interest in signing Javier Hernandez from Bayer Leverkusen this summer, but they face competition from Tottenham Hotspur and Besiktas.

According to a report from Fanatik (h/t [Turkish Football](https://turkish-football.com/turkish-giants-move-hijack-west-ham-tottenham-efforts-sign-striker-chicharito-directly-involved-49-premier-league-goals/)), the duo are both prepared to offer themselves as potential destinations for the Mexico international this summer.

It’s been claimed that it will take just £13m to lure Hernandez away from Leverkusen, which is a price that the majority of top European clubs will be able to cough up.

According to the reports in Turkey, Besiktas have lined up the experienced striker as a potential replacement for Vincent Aboubakar, who looks set to depart this summer.

Hernandez would be more likely to get first-team football on a consistent basis at West Ham rather than at Spurs, with Harry Kane very much the talisman for the Hammers’ London rivals.

The 29-year-old has just two years remaining on his current deal with the Bundesliga club.
