Clubs which could look to sign Javier Hernandez in the summer

The arrival of Robin Van Persie has although increased the depth in the Manchester United squad, the chance to start games for the likes of the deserving Javier Hernandez have certainly dropped alarmingly. With just 15 appearances in the Premier League this season, Hernandez in certainly not being allowed to showcase his talents in arguably the best competition in the world. At 24, though, Chicharito is yet to reach the prime of his career as he is yet to collect any of the personal accolades a striker so dearly carves.

18YB takes a look at the possible clubs which could look sign Chicharito to spearhead their attack for next season.  

Juventus

With Juventus looking to pair their new signing Fernando Llorente (who joins in the summer) with another world class partner, they could certainly look to sign the quality, yet cheap Javier Hernandez. They already have some world beaters in the middle of the park, in the form of Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio, not to mention the quality in attack with Giovinco and Quagliarella.

With Hernandez though, the Turin side will get the cutting edge they so dearly require in the attacking department. His finishing is absolutely top class and has been very correctly been described as a poacher by fans. His ability to score with both feet has been well documented, as well as his ability to head the ball well despite his height.

The “Old Lady” certainly require this type of a player as they create enough only to waste the chances drafted. With Chicharito though, truck loads of goals could be expected and they would be caused no harm with that.

Chelsea

Another season on and Fernando Torres yet to replicate his top form, Chelsea definitely need to go in the market for a proven goal scorer in the Premier League. With ample creativity in their midfield, the Londoners need to make sure they get a true poacher who can just put the ball in the net. They need a striker who doesn’t need to drop deep and help out in creating chances; he just needs to finish the ample chances created by their well gelled midfield.

And in Chicharito, they will get exactly that. He has shown his finishing prowess, not to mention his aerial ability which is more than decent. He will also provide some variation going forward as compared to Demba Ba, who is physically strong and comes deep to mix with the midfielders.

Chelsea, though will certainly move forward by drafting in the Mexican giving the fans some hope of goal scoring consistency.

Manchester City

A Premier League crown in the 2011-2012 season has been followed by stuttering campaign in the current league season, accompanied by less than decent showings in cup competitions. The departure of Italian Mario Balotelli has also left the defending champions short of attackers behind Dzeko, Tevez and Aguero, thereby giving City the need to make a signing for the new season. 

The departure of Mario Balotelli along with the uncertainties over the futures of Tevez and Dzeko could force City to look for a cheap solution to their attacking problems

The uncertainties over the futures of Tevez and Dzeko have also overshadowed much of their performances this season, which could mean an entire revamp of the City attack. With Chicharito available at a less than affordable price just across town, City would surely consider the young Mexican as he fills all the eligibility criteria’s one needs to be a goal scorer at a top club like City.

The qualities of Hernandez are well known at City and having bought Tevez from there before, not to mention the apparent attempt to purchase Rooney, the Citizens will have little qualms about approaching him to play for them.

Whichever club does go in for him though will definitely know that they would be getting their hands on a complete striker, capable of finding the net from anywhere near the box. His price and age are all favorable for any buyer, while for Manchester United, it is one of the few disadvantages of having riches in that department.
