Valencia are ready to launch a cheeky loan move for Javier Hernandez but are likely to be sent packing by Manchester United manager David Moyes.

With Roberto Soldado heading to White Hart Lane, Valencia are desperately short of attacking options but almost as low on funds, despite Tottenham having to activate a £26million escape clause in the 28-year old’s contract to land him.

The La Liga side have lined up a deal to sign Real Zaragoza’s former Tottenham striker Helder Postiga and want Hernandez as well, to bolster their numbers up front.

But sources at The Mestalla are pessimistic about an agreement being struck for the United frontrunner after it emerged that a season-long loan is as much as the cash-strapped Spanish club can afford.

With Moyes eager to strengthen his squad, and mindful of Hernandez’s knack of going on from the bench and scoring vital goals, he seems sure to refuse Valencia’s request.

It will come as a blow for Valencia coach Miroslav Djukic, who hinted a deal was done with Tottenham for Soldado and admitted he would be thin on the ground up front even if the Spain marksman stayed put.

‘Soldado is a very good professional, and if his exit to Tottenham is confirmed shortly, we will wish him all the luck in the world,’ he said. ‘We are looking at various options for is he leaves, because we would have too few forwards, even if he stayed.’
