mobanmarketLos Angeles: LA Galaxy are closing in on a deal that would bring Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, Mexico’s all-time leading scorer, to MLS on a franchise-record transfer.
###
Galaxy general manager Dennis te Kloese confirmed the team was in talks with Hernandez, 31, who moved from England’s West Ham United to Sevilla on an $8.7 million transfer last September. But the forward has fallen out of favour in Spain, appearing in just two league games since November.
###
The Spanish newspaper Marca reported over the weekend that Sevilla has agreed to let Hernandez go on a $10 million transfer and that Hernandez’s representatives were scheduled to meet with the Galaxy this week to work out a new contract.
###
A Galaxy spokesman called that report optimistic and said nothing has been agreed. But he did confirm the two sides are in advanced negotiations.
###
“I think he could be good for us,” Te Kloese said. “We’ll give it a serious try.”
