Arsenal now interested in 22yo winger with 10 goals/assists, can be signed for £16.7m – report | OneFootball

Arsenal are one of many European clubs following the progress of Deportivo La Coruna winger Yeremay Hernandez this season.

The 22-year-old has had a good campaign for Deportivo in La Liga 2. He has registered seven goals and three assists from 17 games thus far.

His progress has caught the eye of several European teams including the Gunners, according to La Opinion de A Coruna (page 35).

Deportivo are not actively looking to part ways with the Spaniard this winter and they will hold out for his release clause worth £16.7 million.

Interested clubs will also need to convince the winger, who recently made it clear that he is happy with the faith shown in him by Deportivo.

Arsenal unlikely to explore mid-season deal for Hernandez

Hernandez is predominantly a left-sided winger. He has 10 goal contributions for Deportivo this term but has also excelled with other attributes.

The attacker has won an impressive 7.2 duels per game with 3.7 successful dribbles. He has made 4.9 recoveries on average with 1.1 tackles.

The Spaniard works hard in the defensive and offensive scheme of things, but Arsenal are not in a position to experiment with a signing.

The Gunners don’t need another left-sided winger due to the presence of Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus.

Their main concern is on the right side of the attack with Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri injured.

Arsenal need a marquee signing like Nico Williams to push them towards a potential league title.

We don’t see the Gunners making an approach for Hernandez in the ongoing transfer window.
