West Ham United striker Javier Hernandez has said that he is dedicated to the club, despite failing to negotiate a move away from the London Stadium in January.

The 29-year-old revealed that he wanted to leave the Hammers in the transfer window in a bid to earn more playing time, but with an injury to Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho's departure, the Mexican was not granted his exit.

Hernandez, however, has now said that he is committed to helping West Ham survive in the Premier League this season.

"I always try to be a professional and now my head is here 100%," the Mexican told the club's official website.

"I will dedicate myself 100% to this team as I had done in all the clubs I have been in, to save us from relegation, which is the goal that we all have, from the coach, the players, all the staff who work at the club, and then also the fans – we will do everything possible to do it.

"We [have] got to be at our best to stave off relegation. Two weeks ago we were in tenth place, in the middle of the table practically. Then, you can have two bad results and you are down, or you can have two very good results and you are up. This is how it will be."

West Ham's next game is against Watford on Saturday.
