West Ham ace Javier Hernandez will surely be in danger of losing first-team minutes if the club sign reported target Emiliano Sala from French club Nantes.

According to the Sunday People (18/11/18; pg 49) the Hammers are interested in the Ligue 1 striker alongside Wolves, West Ham and Crystal Palace.

Nantes have put a £25million price tag (Daily Mail) on the Argentine due to his brilliant form in front of goal this season.

The 28-year-old goal machine has been ripping it up in France, scoring 12 goals in 13 games across all competitions this campaign.

Sala is certainly in the form of his career right now and it’s unclear on if West Ham will step up their interest to try bring him to the London Stadium.

Hernandez certainly doesn’t need the extra competition in attack right now, as he’s already firmly behind Marko Arnautovic in the pecking order.

The 30-year-old Mexican centre-forward is struggling to nail down a place in Manuel Pellegrini’s XI and struggles when playing in attack by himself.

He hasn’t quite been able to show the same kind of form in East London that made him a success in the Premier League with Manchester United.

Hernandez’s days are surely numbered if West Ham splash out an eight-figure sum on a new striker.
