Leverkusen not interested in selling Hernandez

Javier Hernandez remains an integral part of Bayer Leverkusen's plans despite reports linking him with a move back to the Premier League.

Bayer Leverkusen has no intention of selling top scorer Javier Hernandez, according to chief executive Michael Schade.

Hernandez has been a revelation in the Bundesliga since switching to Leverkusen from Manchester United in August 2015, scoring 13 goals in 17 league appearances and firing the club into the top three.

Another nine goals have come in domestic and European cup competitions - a record he will hope to improve on Thursday against Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League.
