Javier Hernandez admits he wanted to leave West Ham in January

West Ham striker Javier Hernandez has admitted that he wanted to leave the club in the January transfer window.

The Mexican joined the club last summer for a fee of £16 million, as reported by Sky Sports, but has struggled to make a big impact.

The 29-year-old is one of the highest paid players at the club, and he is set to be on wages totalling £140,000-per-week.

According to reports from The Mirror, the former Manchester United striker had a transfer request blocked in January ahead of this summer’s finals in Russia.
