Spanish winger Yeremay Hernandez wanted by Arsenal
Arsenal have set their sights on Spanish winger Yeremay Hernandez as they continue to bolster their squad with promising talents. According to sources close to Teamtalk.com, the Gunners have dispatched scouts to observe the 22-year-old in action for Deportivo La Coruña this season, indicating a potential move in the near future.
Yeremay Hernandez, a highly skilled winger, began his football journey with Real Madrid’s youth academy, where he spent two formative years between 2015 and 2017. However, in search of more opportunities for development, he made the switch to Deportivo La Coruña, where he has since carved a niche for himself as one of the most promising young players in Spanish football.
After progressing through Deportivo’s youth ranks, Hernandez made his senior debut for the club in December 2021. Since then, he has solidified his place in the first team and has been a key player in their campaign in the Segunda Division. The winger’s performances have attracted the attention of several top clubs, with Arsenal emerging as one of the frontrunners in the race for his signature.
Hernandez has delivered commendable performances for Deportivo, playing 89 matches and contributing 19 goals and 9 assists. His attacking prowess and ability to create chances have made him a standout player in the Segunda Division.
His performances at the club level also earned him a call-up to Spain’s U21 national team, where he featured in two matches. Although he is yet to break into the senior Spanish national team, his rapid development and consistent performances suggest that international recognition at the highest level may not be far off.
Euro Football Rumours
Arsenal’s interest in Hernandez aligns with their recent strategy of targeting young and emerging talents across Europe. The club has been keen on strengthening their squad with promising players who can develop under manager Mikel Arteta’s guidance. The Gunners have already scouted several players from Spain in recent years, and Hernandez seems to be the latest name on their radar.
Despite Deportivo currently playing in Spain’s second tier, they are reportedly demanding a hefty fee of €35 million for the winger. This valuation reflects the club’s awareness of his potential and the growing interest from bigger European clubs.
If Arsenal decide to move forward with their interest, Hernandez could be a valuable addition to their squad. His dribbling skills, pace, and attacking versatility make him a suitable option for Arteta’s tactical setup. With Arsenal competing in multiple competitions, having a young, dynamic winger as an option could provide depth and creativity in their attacking play.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will make an official bid for the Spanish youngster, but their continued scouting of Hernandez suggests that the club is seriously considering him as a future prospect. If a deal materializes, it could be another exciting signing for the North London club as they aim to build for both the present and the future.
