Javier Hernandez targeted by Premier League clubs

Liverpool and Tottenham are both reportedly ready to offer Mexico international forward Javier Hernandez a return to the Premier League, according to the Mirror.

The top-flight duo, who face West Ham United and Manchester United respectively in the league this weekend, have been linked with making offers for the Bayer Leverkusen striker ahead of the upcoming January transfer window.

The 28-year-old, who has 88 international caps for his country, has scored seven goals and provided two assists in 20 appearances in all competitions for the Bundesliga outfit so far this season.

Hernandez, who netted 59 goals in 158 games for Premier League rivals Manchester United, left Old Trafford back in August 2015 for Leverkusen.

However, the report suggests that Reds boss Jurgen Klopp and Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino are keen to lure the Mexican goalscorer to Anfield and White Hart Lane respectively to bolster their title bids this campaign.

In addition, they suggest Hernandez has a £33.5m buyout clause next month.
