LA Galaxy sign Chicharito in $10m transfer from Sevilla
The LA Galaxy have announced the signing of Mexico international striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez from Sevilla.
Hernandez joins for a fee of $10 million (£8m/€9m), plus up to $3.3m in bonuses.
The signing of Mexico’s all-time leading goalscorer is expected to be a major boost for the Galaxy both on and off the pitch.
“The LA Galaxy continue to pursue top talent across the world that will improve our team,” said LA Galaxy president Chris Klein in a club release. “Javier is one of the most successful players in our region and an iconic figure in this community.
“We are excited to add Javier to our club and look forward to him representing the LA Galaxy in our stadium and in the Los Angeles community.”
The 31-year-old only joined Sevilla from West Ham in September, but will return to North America after spending just a half-season with the La Liga club.
Hernandez will join up with a Galaxy side that is looking to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who departed at the end of the 2019 season after scoring 52 goals in two campaigns with the club.
