West Ham to sign Leverkusen's Javier Hernandez

London, July 21 English football club West Ham United has reached an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Mexican striker Javier Hernandez.

The 96-time-capped striker for Mexico, known as Chicharito, is now set to travel to London in a few days to negotiate his personal terms and undergo medical examinations after West Ham's announcement on Thursday, reports Efe.

The 29-year-old Chicharito joined German Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, after a four-year stint at Manchester United where he won the English Premier League (EPL) title twice.

Earlier this year, he became the all-time top scorer with the Mexican national team, when he notched a goal in a friendly match against Croatia.
