Arsenal interested in Deportivo winger, can be signed for £16.7m | OneFootball

Arsenal are one of several 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, registering seven goals and three assists in 17 games.

According to La Opinion de A Coruna (page 35), Deportivo are not actively looking to part ways with him and 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 ten goal contributions for Deportivo this term but has also excelled with other attributes.

The attacker has won an average of 7.2 duels and made 3.7 successful dribbles per game. He has made 4.9 recoveries and 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 such as Nico Williams to push them towards a potential league title.

The Gunners are unlikely to make a move for Hernandez in the ongoing transfer window.
