West Ham will let Javier Hernandez leave the club this summer, according to reports in the UK.

The Mexican international made 28 appearances for the Hammers last season, scoring eight goals, but manager Manuel Pellegrini is believed to be open to selling up.

Valencia are said to be leading the race for Hernandez’s signature, with an £8m offer believed to be in the pipeline.

Los Ches struggled for a goalscorer last season, with Rodrigo topping the scoring charts with just ten goals in all competitions.

Hernandez has previously played in La Liga when he had a brief spell on loan at Real Madrid from Manchester United in the 2014/15 season.

The 31-year-old hasn’t lived up to expectations since West Ham signed him for £16m from Bayer Leverkusen in July 2017.

During his two years at the Irons, Hernandez has scored just 16 times in 61 games, and it seems the London club are willing to cash in with the player having just one year left on his contract.
