Arsenal, Spurs eager to bring Real Madrid striker Chicharito back to England

A return to England is likely for Real Madrid striker Javier Hernandez. Currently on-loan with Real Madrid, it's emerged in recent days that the Spanish giants won't take up the option to sign the Mexico international permanently.

Chicharito has impressed when called on by Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, but is strictly a backup option.

Arsenal and Tottenham are monitoring the situation and ready to open talks as early as January.

With his contract winding down, United may recall Chicharito in January in order to sell him during the winter transfer window.
