Hernandez's thrilling emergence has already convinced Manchester United to splash the cash and he will now be looking to show the world what he can do.
Nicknamed 'Chicharito' - meaning Little Pea - Hernandez was regarded as an exciting prospect from a young age but initially struggled to make much of an impact after breaking into the Chivas team as a teenager.
The striker's rise to prominence, though, has been stratospheric following a stunning start to his international career with four goals in his first four appearances.
The 21-year-old was already being discussed as the potential solution to Mexico's goalscoring problems after a prolific spell in domestic football when a deal was agreed for him to move to Old Trafford later in the summer.
United supporters will be looking forward to seeing what Hernandez has to offer but he has kept his focus on the World Cup rather than his imminent switch and will hope to start the opening game against hosts South Africa.
El Tri have previously lacked a predatory finisher and Hernandez fits the bill with a deadly eye for goal, pace and trickery, although he may not be too much of a threat in the air at 5ft 7in.
