It’s no secret that Javier Hernandez could be on his way out of West Ham soon. However, there are rumours circling in The Sun that he could be making a loan move to Besiktas that would see West Ham pocket a £1 million loan fee and get him off the wage bill for a few months between January and the summer.
What’s the point of loaning Hernandez to Besiktas for the rest of the season? They are only paying £1m for him. Stupid decision if true

Whilst on the face of it, this looks like a bad move for The Hammers, when you think about it a loan move makes loads of sense. Send Chicharito out to score goals and sow the world that he can still perform despite the fact he’s proven to be a lazy waster at the London Stadium then when he returns you can get him off the wage bill for good with a permanent transfer, and charge a little bit more for him to leave after a good spell in Turkey.
In reality, it’s hard to tell whether or not he’ll be a success in the Turkish Super Lig, but that’s the least of The Hammers worries and they simply cannot wait to see what life at the London Stadium would be like without forking out an obscene sum of money for Hernandez to sit on the bench and amble around every week. The money could then be put towards someone of a little bit more value who would offer more to the club who would be able to link up with the likes of Marko Arnautovic and Felipe Anderson to good effect.
