JAVIER HERNANDEZ is reportedly heading for Besiktas in a move which will cost West Ham £8.5million.
The Mexican striker, 29 joined the Hammers from Bayer Leverkusen in a £16m deal over the summer.
But Goal are reporting that the Turkish champions are closing in on a £7.5m switch.
Hernandez, 29, has only scored four times for The Hammers and has not found the net since October.
Since David Moyes arrived in the hotseat back in November, he has been used mainly as a sub and is struggling to impress.
The ex-Manchester United star has been linked with MLS outfit Los Angeles, who have former Swansea boss Bob Bradley in charge.

Bradley said:“From my point of view as a coach, Chicarito is a great player, with great personality and a great goalscorer.
“So if Will Ferrell and the rest of the partners can confirm it, I can find a way to put him on the field and help him score goals.”

Hernandez, however, insists he is keen to stay with the Hammers.
He said: “[The reports] are completely false. I am 100 per cent committed to helping improve the situation we are all experiencing at West Ham. I have not asked to leave West Ham at any time.”
