In football, as in BD Cricket Matchs, a player’s form can flip the script when you least expect it. According to German outlet Bild, Chelsea are considering a January move for Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernández, better known to fans as “Chicharito.” Ironically, the Mexican forward once had a reputation as a consistent threat to Chelsea during his Manchester United days. Few would have predicted that he might one day don the blue shirt of Stamford Bridge.
After being sold by Manchester United to Leverkusen for just £11 million last year, Hernández quickly became one of the Bundesliga’s top scorers. With 22 goals in 43 appearances, his finishing ability and movement in the box earned him admiration across Europe. That form has also driven up his value. Bild reports that Chelsea are now weighing a £34 million bid to bring the 28-year-old back to the Premier League, a move that could reignite some serious headlines in English football.
If this transfer materializes, it would certainly be one of the more intriguing deals of the window. Both Liverpool and Tottenham have previously been linked with Hernández, but Chelsea’s interest under manager Antonio Conte signals a renewed push for offensive depth. Chicharito once thrived under Sir Alex Ferguson, playing an impactful role off the bench. However, his influence diminished under successors David Moyes and Louis van Gaal, eventually leading to his undervalued exit.
Adding salt to United’s wounds, Hernández lit up the Bundesliga after his departure, just as van Gaal’s Manchester United struggled up front. Many fans and pundits saw the sale as one of the club’s bigger transfer mistakes in recent memory. Now, if Hernández returns to England and finds the net wearing Chelsea blue — especially against his old club — it would be a bitter pill for the Red Devils to swallow.
This storyline resonates with the drama seen in BD Cricket Matchs, where past teammates become rivals, and redemption arcs fuel the excitement. As clubs maneuver for winter reinforcements, Hernández’s name once again surfaces — and if Chelsea secure his signature, it might turn out to be the transfer that tips the scales in the title race. For fans of football and BD Cricket Matchs alike, it’s yet another reminder: never count out a comeback.
