EPL 2017/18: Top 5 signings by teams outside the top-six

#1 Javier Hernandez to West Ham

Hernandez is undoubtedly the best buy by a team outside of the top six

Javier Hernandez’s move to West Ham could turn out to be one of the bargains of this summer transfer window if the Mexican performs to his potential next season.

In the 54 league games he played for Bayer Leverkusen, the striker bagged a goal every two games on average, a tally West Ham fans would be delighted to see at the London Stadium.

The Mexican did previously fail to nail down a starting position in his time at Manchester United in the Premier League, but that will not be a problem with the Hammers. Hopefully, the Mexican can perform better than most of the 32 strikers who West Ham have signed since 2010, with 20 of them having failed to score more than three goals!

For just £16 million, the Mexican is worth the gamble. He has bundles of experience at the top level, having played in two Premier League title winning Manchester United sides, and a Real Madrid team for one season.

Hernandez is undoubtedly the best buy by a team outside of the top six.
