# Why Javier Hernandez is just what West Ham need

West Ham finally look set to land themselves a competent striker. Javier Hernandez is due to undergo a medical in the imminent future, and looks poised to put pen to paper on a deal to sign with the Hammers.

The Bayer Leverkusen forward has been linked with a move away from the Bundesliga in the last couple of months, and he has found his next destination back in the Premier League.

West Ham have been in need of a first-team striker for some time now, and they are set to secure the services of a highly-rated, proven goal scorer this summer.

Hernandez is, for me, without a doubt, the ideal striker for West Ham, and one that they have been crying out for.

However, just what will he bring to the London Stadium, and why is he such a good fit for the club?

I’ve taken a look at five reasons why he’ll be a success.
