Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez is demanding huge money to sign for West Ham.

TheMirror says Chicharito wants £140,000-a-week to join West Ham.

The Bayer Leverkusen striker is available for £13million and the Irons have moved of him in an attempt to solve their striker crisis.

But Hernandez, who also has interest from Tottenham and LA Galaxy, has left West Ham reeling with his wage demands.

The salary would make the 29-year-old the club's highest earner - shattering the £100,000-a-week being paid to Andy Carroll.

LA Galaxy are also in contact with the Mexican.
