Javier Hernandez is flying in to London on Tuesday to undergo a medical with West Ham United, according to Sky Sports News HQ.

The Hammers announced on Thursday that they have agreed a deal to sign the former Manchester United striker.




The 29-year-old, who is Mexico's leading goalscorer, is now quickly closing on moving to the London Stadium and will arrive in England on Tuesday to undergo a medical.

West Ham will hope there are no hitches in Hernandez's medical and that they can rapidly sign him up.
 


The Hammers had been aiming to snap up a big name striker last summer, but could only sign Simone Zaza on loan from Juventus and the Italian flopped at the London Stadium.
