West Ham United striker Javier Hernandez is ready to stay in London, it has been revealed.

Atletico Madrid are keen to bring the former Real Madrid forward back to the city, where coach Diego Simeone is a big fan.

Indeed, Simeone has personally requested the Mexico international's signing - but Chicharito has turned him down.

Don Balon says Chicharito is reluctant to return to Madrid where two former girlfriends now live and work - the presenter Lucía Villalón and the actress Andrea Duro.

Instead, the striker is ready to stay with the Hammers and work with new manager Manuel Pellegrini.
