# ‘Hits the ball like a rocket’ – West Ham fans loving player’s party trick

**Our West Ham fans here in the Transfer Tavern simply cannot wait to see their side get going this season in the Premier League with a very exciting squad now available to Slaven Bilic.**

The men from the London Stadium certainly seem to have turned things around optimism wise with the club now looking in a good position to challenge for the European spots.

A fast start, then, is the order of the day and with Manchester United their first fixture of the campaign, the Hammers’ players should be well up for getting going.

Indeed, one man who will likely be more eager than most to turn in a good display will be former United man Javier Hernandez.

West Ham supporters are already pinning their hopes on the Mexican striker and after the club tweeted this goal from him on training, you can see why:

Here, then, is the best of the reaction to the Mexican’s party trick:
