Javier Hernandez or Chicharito or Little Pea as he is fondly called is a striker that often divides opinion but is still loved by many.

Hernandez a traditional number 9 who can be found at the right place at the right time to put the ball in the back off the net. But with managers demanding more than just goals from strikers these days, it might explain why Hernandez was sold by Manchester United despite having one of the best minutes per goal ratio in Premier League history.

The Mexican striker scored 59 times in 157 games for Manchester United but that hardly does justice to his talent as he was used a super-sub (to good effect) on many occasions.

He had a loan spell at Real Madrid playing second fiddle to Karim Benzema, but he still managed to find the back of the net 9 times.

In 2015, he moved to Germany to play for Bayer Leverkusen with whom he scored 39 goals in 76 outings. It looked like he found a club which suited him but the 29-year-old made a return to the Premier League with West Ham in the summer.

This move was surprising to many and West Ham’s poor start to the season has not helped the case. Nevertheless, he has scored twice for the Hammers already.
