Turkish Giants Besiktas 'Very Likely' to Sign West Ham Forward in January Move

Javier Hernandez’s unfulfilled West Ham career appears to be nearing a new stage, with the Mexican falling largely on the periphery at the London Stadium, with Turkish outfit Besiktas said to be in talks about a loan move for the striker.

Hernandez moved to the London Stadium in a major deal from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, which appeared at the time to be a significant coup for the Hammers. The 30-year-old had been in fine form in the Bundesliga but has struggled to reach those heights in east London.

The former Manchester United star has been largely out of the picture under Manuel Pellegrini this term, and Turkish outlet Fanatik report that talks between Besiktas and Hernandez’s representatives over a potential transfer are ongoing and progressing well.
