Javier Hernandez has “asked personally” for a move away from West Ham, according to his agent.

The Mexican has started just one Premier League game under Hammers manager David Moyes, who also sidelined him at Manchester United.

He came off the bench to score his fifth goal of the season against Bournemouth on Saturday but he is not satisfied with a bit-part role.

“There are a number of clubs interested in his services, he’s a player everyone knows and is incredibly professional,” his agent Eduardo Hernandez told FOX Sports.

“Our primary focus is a club in which [Chicharito] can play the most games possible. That’s the most important.

“Javier has asked personally for it. He’s commented, stated and demanded that we look for a club that really needs a player with his characteristics because what he wants is to play and play and play.”

His chances of moving may be scuppered by a raft of injuries at West Ham.
