Javier Hernandez Named on List of Potential Targets for Barcelona After Munir Departure

In one of the more bizarre transfer stories you'll read this January, West Ham's Javier Hernandez has reportedly been named on a six-man shortlist of transfer targets for Barcelona, as they seek to acquire some short-term backup for Luis Suarez.

Academy graduate Munir departed for Sevilla last week, leaving the Catalan giants short of an alternative number nine to step in for Suarez, and speculation has since gone into overdrive as to who they could sign as a replacement.

One such possibility, according to Sport, is West Ham's out of favour striker Javier Hernandez, who is currently out with a back injury.
