Chicharito wanted by Valencia Transfer Market Los Che want him to replace Batshuayi

Valencia are keen on securing the signing of Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez when the transfer window reopens in January.

The Mexican would be open to a return to LaLiga Santander, having previously enjoyed a stint at Real Madrid, although an agreement would have to be reached with West Ham.

Valencia boss Marcelino is keen to implement radical changes in the final third for his team following a lacklustre start to the campaign.

According to sources, the Mestalla outfit have already contacted the forward about a deal bringing him to the club on loan in January.

The striker has reportedly already given the green light to a move to Valencia and all that remains is for the clubs to agree to a deal that would bring Chicharito back to Spanish football.

He is set to arrive as a replacement for Michy Batshuayi, who is to leave in January due to receiving limited playing time since arriving on loan from Chelsea.

Hernandez is currently injured, which has prevented him from playing in the Hammers' last two games.

However, he has gained more playing time in December prior to his injury and has brought his tally for the campaign in the Premier League to four goals.
