Liverpool in for Javier Hernandez?

Liverpool have emerged as top contenders to land the signature of Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez during the summer transfer window.

The Mexican international spent last season on loan at Real Madrid having fallen out of favour under new boss Louis van Gaal.

Chicharito is expected to seek fresh pastures this summer, and Tuttomercatoweb claims that the Reds are favourites to secure the player's services.

Liverpool have already agreed deals in principle to sign Danny Ings, Joe Gomez, Roberto Firmino, James Milner and Adam Bogdan this summer.
