Tottenham, West Ham plan bids for Bayer Leverkusen striker Chicharito

Tottenham and West Ham are eyeing Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez.

BILD says the Mexico international has used the Confederations Cup to raise his stock and attract a potential new club.

And Tottenham and West Ham are among a host of suitors keen to sign the striker.

Chicharito spent five years with Manchester United prior to his switch to the Bundesliga and would be an experienced addition to both club's forward lines.

He has a £13.2million [€15m] release clause in his contract with Leverkusen which runs until June 2018.

And Spurs and the Hammers will reportedly face competition for his signature from French side Lyon.
