3. Javier Hernandez: Bayer Leverkusen
The former Manchester United star belongs to a rare breed of modern day goal poachers, who will get you goals whenever you need them. Being a Manchester United fan myself, I’m missing the Mexican a lot, not just his goals but his attitude towards the game and the team too. A willing runner in behind centre backs, Chicharito is a nippy and a very quick character, on the ball and off it too. He’ll be here for a moment and there the very next moment, making him a nightmare for the even the meanest defense in the world, take Atletico Madrid as an example from last season’s Champions League advancement. He’s got loads of desire for getting goals for his team if given time to play and can topple the defenders off their feet with his incisive off the ball movements. He may miss a few chances here and there, but he’ll score at critical moments of time.
The 27-year-old has scored 4 goals for Roger Schmidt’s men, despite of Leverkusen’s lack of a proper central midfield enforcer such as Gonzalo Castro. With Leverkusen in a concerning need of a goal scorer, the Die Werkself would demand a good amount of money for him if Mourinho does end up opting for the Mexican.
