Sources: LA Galaxy Sign Mexican Star Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez

The LA Galaxy no longer have a marquee-name void in their attack, and MLS is no longer chasing its white whale of a signing.

Sources have told SI.com that the Galaxy have signed Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez from Sevilla to a contract that will make him the highest-paid player in MLS, adding Mexico's all-time leading scorer to fill the spot left behind by Zlatan Ibrahimovic after his two goal-filled seasons in MLS.

Chicharito has long been a desired target for MLS and its clubs but was hesitant to join the league, instead wanting to remain in Europe. After leaving Chivas Guadalajara for Manchester United in 2010, he spent the last decade with the Red Devils, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham and most recently Sevilla.
