# Javier Hernandez could be a Hammer within a week

According to [Sky Sports’](https://twitter.com/SkyKaveh/status/887246452011020288)Kaveh Solhekol, Hammers fans could be seeing Javier Hernandez in claret and blue within the next seven days.

The 29-year-old Mexican has been rumoured, as have many other forwards, as a West Ham target this summer but it seems as if the Hammers are finally closing in on a striker.

Currently playing for [Bayern Leverkusen](https://readbundesliga.com/), he managed 13 goals in all competitions and that caused many teams to chase after his signature this summer.

With London rivals [Chelsea](https://readchelsea.com/) briefly linked with the ex-[Manchester United](https://readmanutd.com/) star, it seems the London Stadium side have beaten them to a deal.

It is thought ‘Chicharito’ is demanding around £140,000 a week which is a lot more than the highest earners at the club, so David Sullivan is reportedly in discussions with the Mexicans agent today to finalise personal terms.
