West Ham have told Sevilla they must pay €8m if the club is to consider letting striker Javier Hernandez leave before the closure of the European transfer window on Monday.

Football.London understands the Spaniards have seen two bids for the Mexican frontman rejected by the Hammers as being too far below thier valuation but if the €8m is matched then Chicharito could go.

Sevilla and the Hammers have been in talks for nearly a week over a potential move but the injury to Michail Antonio he picked up against Newport County on Tuesday night meant the club had been reluctant to let Hernandez leave.

However, Chicharito has asked the club to consider allowing him to move to Sevilla as it could be a good opportunity for him to get regular minutes but the club will only let him leave if his value is matched.

Sevilla have returned with another offer but it still isn't enough but it is believed the Spanish side will return with another offer in the next 24 hours.

West Ham signed Sebastien Haller for a club-record fee this summer and he is the club's number one striker with another new recruit in Albian Ajeti as his backup alongside Hernandez.

He has scored 26 Premier League goals for the club since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2017 but has struggled to nail down a regular place under three different managers in east London.

Should Hernandez leave before the deadline then the club will have dispensed with all four strikers who started the 2018/19 season at the club. Marko Arnautovic, Lucas Perez and Andy Carroll have all since left under Manuel Pellegrini's watch.
