Sevilla 'agree Javier Hernandez deal with West Ham United'

Sevilla have reportedly agreed a deal with West Ham United for the transfer of Javier Hernandez.

The Mexico international was not involved against Norwich City on Saturday after reportedly handing in a transfer request in a bid to force a move before the European transfer window closes for business.

Sevilla have been strongly linked with a move for the former Manchester United striker as the La Liga outfit look to improve their options in the final third of the field.

According to The Mirror, the Spanish outfit have agreed a deal worth €7.8m (£7m) plus an additional €1m (£900,000) in add-ons, with the 31-year-old set to complete a switch to the Estadio Ramon.

Hernandez, who will see his contract at the London Stadium expire next summer, has scored 17 times in 63 appearances for the Hammers since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in 2017.

The Mexican has previous experience of La Liga, having turned out for Real Madrid on loan during the 2014-15 campaign.
