West Ham close in on their fourth signing as Javier Hernandez arrives in London for his medical

West Ham are closing in on the signing of Javier Hernandez following the Mexico striker’s arrival in London for a medical.

Hernandez has agreed personal terms in principle while a fee of £16 million has been finalised between West Ham and Bayer Leverkusen.

Subject to the medical, the former Manchester United star could become West Ham’s fourth summer signing as early as Tuesday, following Pablo Zabaleta, Joe Hart and Marko Arnautovic.

One of those new arrivals, Arnautovic, has said that it did not take long to be convinced of joining the Hammers.

“The manager gives me a good feeling for the Club and for myself, that I can improve here. I didn’t have to think long to take this opportunity." Arnautovic told the club’s official website.

“I spoke also to my family and everyone – everyone was happy that the agreement was done with West Ham and now we can’t wait to get started at this club."

West Ham have also been linked with Senegal midfielder Badou N’Diaye but free-spending Everton are also interested in signing the 26-year-old who plays for Turkish club Osmanlispor.
