Co-chairman David Gold confirmed on Sunday that the club want to sign a new striker, after Enner Valencia was ruled out for the start of the season.
The Telegraph reports that West Ham will pay Manchester United £12m for Hernandez, and use the prospect of a strike partnership with Jimenez to tempt him to Upton Park.
Hernandez scored nine goals in 33 appearances on loan at Real Madrid last season.
