# Hernandez to demand huge wage packet

West Ham’s hunt for a striker has already been rumbling on for some time now, and Javier Hernandez is a man that has been heavily linked with a move.

The Bayer Leverkusen man is valued at just £13m and could be set for a departure from Germany this summer, with a host of clubs claimed to be interested.

However, according to Dean Jones in an article from [Bleacher Report](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2719939-inside-football-everton-told-to-pay-40m-for-gylfi-sigurdsson), the Mexican international is ready to demand a huge pay packet if he is to join West Ham.

Jones reports that Hernandez will demand a wage worth around £140,000 per week – a deal that would make him the club’s highest paid player.

The 29-year-old is claimed to be keen on returning to the Premier League this summer, having enjoyed a considerably good spell with Manchester United previously.

Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with a move, but West Ham’s interest appears to be most concrete.
