Javier Hernandez Wanted by Fiorentina as West Ham United Prepare to Lose Another Striker

Italian side Fiorentina are keen to make a move for Mexico and West Ham United striker Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez before the close of the summer.

Hernandez, who joined the Hammers in 2017, has failed to live up to expectations during his spell in London. With just a year left on his contract, a transfer to Florence could well prove to be a logical move for both parties.

According to Italian outlet Corriere Dello Sport, the Serie A outfit are keen to bring in an experienced forward to partner Giovanni Simeone (son of Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone) and the Mexican tops the two-man shortlist.
