Javier Hernandez insists he is happy at West Ham and not looking to leave the club

SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 19:  Javier Hernandez of West Ham celebrates scoring his teams second goal during the Premier League match between Southampto

Javier Hernandez has dismissed claims he is unhappy at West Ham and wants to leave the club in January.

The Mexico forward has scored three goals for the Hammers since his £16m summer switch from Bayer Leverkusen, but has often been deployed on the left side of a front three by manager Slaven Bilic.

Reports in Spain emerged on Saturday suggesting Hernandez had already indicated his desire to end his spell at the London Stadium and instructed his agent to secure a move to either Sevilla or Valencia.

But, in response to those suggestions, the 29-year-old said via his official Twitter account: "That's a lie! I'm very happy at West Ham!! #COYI."
