West Ham boss Pellegrini makes clear Chicharito staying

West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini has made it clear Javier Hernandez will be staying.

The Mexico striker has been linked with a move to MLS.

But after Saturday's 2-2 draw with Athletic Bilbao, Pellegrini said: “Javier [Hernandez] is a penalty box player and he always scores ten or 12 goals every season, whereas Sebastien [Haller] is a player who works more into the space and with the ball.

“When you play with a striker like Javier, who scores so many goals, you have to create a lot of chances and he will score. With Sebastien, he is a mixed player and he also scores a lot so, for me, I am happy with both of them."
