Javier Hernandez: West Ham striker denies reports he has asked to leave

Last updated on 16 November 2017.From the section West Ham60

West Ham striker Javier Hernandez has denied suggestions he has asked to leave the Premier League club.

Reports in his homeland said the 29-year-old Mexican wanted to rejoin Chivas before next year's World Cup.

The former Manchester United forward, who joined the Hammers from Bayer Leverkusen for £16m in July, said the stories were "completely false".

"I am 100% committed to helping improve the situation that we are all experiencing in West Ham," he tweeted.

Hernandez added he had not asked to leave "at any time".

West Ham, who sacked manager Slaven Bilic earlier this month, are 18th in the Premier League.

Hernandez is set to miss David Moyes' first match in charge of the Hammers after injuring his hamstring during Mexico's friendly against Belgium on Friday.

@2. "No-one likes west Ham", says the Man City fan - it's a bit rich when half your stadium is either empty or come dressed as completely silent, sky blue chairs!

(Also Chequebook Pep can only get it done when he has half a billion to spend)

With David Moyes coming in its completely understandable, I mean who would want to play alongside all his Everton rejects when he signs them in Jan.

If I was him I'd want out too.

Mischief making. West Ham are an easy target. Must be a pretty slow day in the Beeb's sports department to go to the trouble of making a story out of it.

Why do we seem completely unable as a nation to give young english managers like David Pleat a chance??

Im guessing you dont support West Ham, but yet are that blinded by hatred enough to talk about them?

Obsession is a horrible trait

@8 You are wrong, Van Gaal sold him to Leverkusen, not Moyes.

Of course he has asked to leave, wouldn't you? The club play very negative football and just when he thought things could only improve with a new manager Moyes rocks up. What would you do?

Playing in an Athletics Stadium with a camoflaged Track and the crowd in the distance is not that enticing.
Indeed when Moyes first arrived, he likened Stratford to a Cricket ground.
I expect, like Dmitri Payet, Hernandez will be out the door in a jiffy.

Hernandez made it very clear when he signed that one of the major factors in his decision was coming to play for Bilic. David Moyes was also conspicuously absent from his 'thank yous' on leaving Man Utd a few years back. So what do the board do?...

It's little wonder West Ham is turning into such a circus considering the current clown in the boardroom.

Sullivan out.

I reckon Hernandez won't be so keen to 'commit' to West Ham after they are relegated.He won't be able to get out fast enough.Manchester United should never have sold him in the first place he is a top class player in a below average team at West Ham.I might be wrong but it was Moyes I believe who sold him to Leverkusen and got Fellani in his place.

Always nice to see those fans who dont have a clue about football. Pep comment below clearly one of those fans, You do realise you were crap until you got your oil money, the same as when Chelsea got their oil money.

Do your self a favour and not make silly comments, hardly a mighty club are you. When Pep gets told you cant buy anymore players for silly money, lets see how good he is

Stick to your Glory Hunting Club, who you've most likely only supported since 2008

If PG is such a good manager, let him go to a club who has to run to a budget instead of having no spending limits.

Oh no wait...he is a prima donna just like his massively overpaid players.

Funny that the 'so called' best managers always manage clubs that have more money than sense.

Of course he is dedicated to West Ham. He has no option, nobody else wants him. But lets wait and see what the dream team achieve...Moyes and Pearce (two complete failures)....Oh, West Ham fans, what have you done to deserve this?

@20 Javier WAS an excellent player for United. Unfortunately the manager decided he didn't fit the system going forward.

He's commited to West Ham ! in other words he's lost his ambition to actually win any kind of trophy in football
