Arsenal are among several Premier League clubs keeping a close eye on Deportivo La Coruna winger Yeremay Hernandez.
As per reports from Sport Witness, the Gunners are joined by Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle United as the hype around the Spaniard continues to grow after his impressive performances.
The report adds that Deportivo are not eager to let the player leave mid-season, but will hold out for his entire €20 million release clause in the wake of any potential deal going through. Arsenal will have their eyes peeled on this situation as the club are actively seeking wide attackers in the current transfer window. Other wingers on the north Londoners’ radar are Athletic Club’s Nico Williams and Las Palmas winger Alberto Moleiro.
Chelsea are also in the market for another attack-minded player, although their focus may lie more in central areas than the wings as they have plenty in their ranks currently. Newcastle are in the market for a winger to add cover behind Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy, while Manchester United would be open to business should the right opportunity present itself.
Yeremay Hernandez’s stats for Deportivo La Coruna
Born in 2002, Yeremay Hernandez began his early playing career with Almenara between 2005-11, with Las Palmas between 2011-15, Real Madrid between 2015-17, and finally Deportivo La Coruna between 2017-21. He broke into Deportivo’s first team that year and has since made 76 appearances for the club, scoring 15 goals and providing eight assists.
Hernandez seems to have come into his own this season as he has put up incredible numbers so far. He has made 17 appearances in LaLiga2, scoring seven goals and providing three assists as well. From his output, it is clear that he likes to cut in and attempt shots, and is also a key component when crosses come in from the opposite wing.

A quick, agile and technical player, Hernandez has the tools to fit in and even excel in the Premier League. However, it remains to be seen which of the four English giants will make their move for the Spaniard first.
