Southampton have joined West Ham in tracking Javier Hernandez ahead of a potential move this summer.

The Manchester United striker, 26, is unhappy at Real Madrid where he is on a season-long loan but struggling for regular first team action.

Hernandez has had just one start in the League and has scored four goals in a total of 18 appearances.

A number of clubs have been made aware of his availabilty with Spurs, Stoke and Everton also interested.

Southampton are currently struggling for goals with just two in their last six matches.

Boss Ronald Koeman said to be regretting not moving for another striker in January as Graziano Pelle has scored just once in his last FOURTEEN games.

After initial optimism that frontman Jay Rodriguez would return this month from a knee injury, Koeman now fears the 25-year-old will not be back for the rest of the campaign.

Shane Long, signed for £12million last August, has managed only four goals this season.

The lack of firepower has seen the Saints tumble out of the top four in recent weeks. They remain in contention, however, for a shock place in the top four.
