Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez insists he's excited for West Ham United's preseason tour of Asia.

Earlier this summer Hernandez had expressed his desire to leave the Hammers.

But speaking ahead of the Premier League Asia Trophy in China, the striker was ready to perform in preseason.

He told the club's website: "I think it's going to be a good trip, to be with the Chinese fans that West Ham has and a lot of Chinese people love to watch the Premier League – there is a very strong fan base over there.

"It's going to be great to be over there. I went there something like five years ago with Manchester United and I saw the fanbase is incredible for the Premier League and of course West Ham. We're going to play two games and it's going to be good."
