Chicharito Transfer: Liverpool Eyeing Bayer Leverkusen Star Javier Hernandez
Javier Hernandez could eventually land in a new team soon after letting out a rant that he doesn’t expect himself suiting up for Bayer Leverkusen next season.
The 27-year-old striker’s statement made via Don Balon has caught the attention of at least three teams who could do well with his services. The teams reportedly interested in Chicharito include Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, all of which can benefit highly with the addition of the Mexican football player.
“I do not know if I will play next season at Bayer,” says Chicharito despite the fact that he only arrived at Bundlesliga this Summer from Manchester United.
He goes on to add, “In this sport, it does not matter if you sign a contract for ten years or ten times to extend one year.”
The three clubs expressing interest have been linked to him previously.
For Tottenham, adding Chicharito could become the longed for second pure striker the club had wanted to pair up with Harry Kane.
The same case practically holds true for Arsenal, which could use Javier alongside Olivier Gould and Joel Campbell for a possible title shot.
Liverpool looms as the team that could direly need Chicharito. The team has found itself struggling due to Daniel Sturridge’s recurring injuries while Christian Benteke hasn’t exactly filled in that void to make Jurgen Kloop’s system run smoothly.
Going through the things that Javier can do, any team he eventually ends up with stands to get instant production.
He showed what he could do in Germany, scoring 11 goals in 14 appearances and then adding another five goals in six UEFA Champions League matches.
With that in mind, Liverpool seems to be the top choice and likely to be the squad where Chicharito can flourish. Klopp has been plagued by a misfiring strike force, though any plans of signing him up could be delayed for next season.
The reason for that is because Javier has already played for two teams this season.
Hernandez joined Leverkusen via United in the summer where he was signed up for €12 million per ESPN FC.
Thus far, Chicharito has proven what he can do on the offensive side, scoring 19 goals in 22 matches.
Proving what he can do along with that statement he made publicly, seeing the Mexican striker donning a new uniform next season will no longer be a surprise. Right now, it is a question on who can offer him the best package as well as exposure to help boosts his stock in the sport.
