Arsenal has set its sights on promising winger Yeremay Hernandez, who currently plays for Deportivo La Coruna. While the Gunners remain fiercely competitive in the Premier League title chase and have advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals, they are keenly aware of the need to bolster their squad ahead of the summer transfer window.
As the primary target for strengthening their attack remains a high-caliber striker—Newcastle's Alexander Isak is at the top of their wishlist—Arsenal is also exploring opportunities to enhance their wide options. Among those under consideration is Athletic Bilbao’s Spaniard Nico Williams, who has also garnered attention from local rivals Chelsea, indicating a bustling market for emerging talents.
According to sources, Arsenal has dispatched scouts to monitor 22-year-old Hernandez’s progress this season. Despite playing in Spain's Segunda Division, the winger has made a significant impact, netting 11 goals and providing four assists in LaLiga2, showcasing his potential.
Hernandez’s journey began with Real Madrid's youth setup from 2015 to 2017 before transitioning to Deportivo, where he began to make his mark. Having debuted in December 2021, he quickly became a pivotal figure in the squad. His performances have prompted Deportivo to demand a hefty £30 million for his transfer, as they believe his skill set, including the ability to execute quick passes and through balls, will only improve with experience.
His abilities have not gone unnoticed by national selectors, with whispers of a call-up to the senior Spanish team circulating. Although he recently signed a new deal with Deportivo to protect his market value, it appears likely that Hernandez will be on the move this summer, with his talent attracting interest from several clubs.
Fulham has already initiated contact for Hernandez, with manager Marco Silva identifying him as a key addition to enhance the club's attacking threat. He brings versatility, capable of playing on either flank or even in a central role, making him a prized asset in the transfer market.
Arsenal’s competition does not end with Fulham; Brentford is reportedly keeping a close eye on Hernandez, while Leicester City is also interested, although their pursuit may hinge on their Premier League status.
In the broader context of Arsenal's summer transfer ambitions, recent reports reveal potential striker targets, including Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres, as the Gunners look to make impactful signings.
Yeremay Hernandez: A Rising Star's Journey
Born in Las Palmas, Hernandez’s footballing roots trace back to local clubs UD Almenara and UD Las Palmas before joining Real Madrid's youth academy at just 12. His trajectory took him to Deportivo, where he signed his first professional contract in December 2018 and made his senior debut in December 2021. Known for his electrifying pace and technical prowess, Hernandez has developed into a dynamic winger capable of transforming matches with his attacking flair.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Hernandez and how clubs like Arsenal, Fulham, and others navigate this competitive landscape to secure his services.
