Premier League: 10 Shocking Transfers That Could Happen In January
3. Javier Hernandez To Spurs
Javier Hernandez has had to settle with being a squad player at Manchester United this season with Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck all above him in the pecking order at Old Trafford. The Mexican has made just one full Premier League appearances this season with the majority of his 12 outings coming from the substitutes' bench, and the forward recently hinted he could quit to get more game time in a World Cup year. Tottenham are reportedly interested in the poacher as new manager Tim Sherwood looks to add goals to a front line that has the second-lowest goals tally in the division's top 10. Why would it be shocking? Emmanuel Adebayor has come on leaps and bounds since Sherwood's appointment and alongside Roberto Soldado Spurs may not need another striker. Man United likely wouldn't sell to a side above them in the league anyway.
