10 best finishers in world football right now

#8 Javier Hernandez

West Ham star Javier Hernandez might not be the most skilled and gifted player in the world, but there is one thing he is extremely good at - finding the back of the net. Scoring goals with his foot, head, knee and even his stomach, Hernandez always seems to be the in the right place at the right time.

After a hugely successful spell at Manchester United, the 'Little Pea' had a spell at Bayer Leverkusen where he continued his good form before returning to the Premier League and signing for West Ham.

Although the Hammers have had a tough start to the Premier League, Hernandez himself has hit the ground running scoring 4 goals in 10 games so far at the London club. Quite simply put, Hernandez is one of the best finishers in world football at the moment.
