Wantaway West Ham United striker Javier Hernandez has been trolled over pictures of him at the London Stadium.

Chicharito welcomed the New York Yankees to London Stadium as Major League Baseball’s most-successful team beat the Boston Red Sox over the weekend.

The West Ham striker told Naked Humans YouTube channel he wants to leave the club this summer.

Chicharito wants out, but who wants Chicharito?

But as he awaits offers from interest clubs, the Mexican was among 60,000 fans who turned out to watch the Yankees and Red Sox in the historic London Series – the first regular-season MLB matches to be played in Europe.

Some West Ham fans reacted angrily to Hernandez’s forthright admission he wants to leave the club.

Others were just as unhappy with his seemingly ambivalent attitude towards staying where he will continue to pick up his £140,000 per week wages.

The ineffectual forward has become notorious for his whinging in a West Ham shirt.

Javier the whinger

He showed disrespect for his manager Manuel Pellegrini and his teammates with a public display of arrogance when he was substituted against Manchester United last at Old Trafford last season.

Shaking his head and hitting out at Pellegrini as he left the field, moaning to his teammates on the bench, it was typical of Hernandez’s over-inflated opinion of himself.

The fact he showed plenty of respect to his old fans as he left the pitch and on social media only served to anger fans further still.

Fans have grown tired of the striker’s little tantrums.

Mark Noble even revealed he had to speak to Hernandez about his poor attitude last term (Evening Standard).

‘The happiest he has ever looked’

So when pictures emerged showing Hernandez all smiles for the baseball at West Ham’s London Stadium home, many pointed out the irony.

Here are a selection of responses from fans on Twitter.
