Hernandez hunted by Gunners

With the January transfer window only days away from opening once again, clubs are readying themselves for high-profile bids around Europe, including many Premier League teams.

Arsene Wenger is one manager that could be busy in the winter window, after a very quiet summer which saw only Petr Cech arrive from London rivals Chelsea, and the Gunners are reportedly eyeing a hopeful move for a former Manchester United hitman in Javier Hernandez.

Such a switch would be a dagger through the Red Devils faithful’s hearts, having witnessed the Mexican be offloaded last summer to Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen, and his clinical form in front of goal could help Arsenal finally claim another Premier League title this term.

Arsenal aiming at attacking reinforcements

Mexico marksman Hernandez has been deadly since arriving in Germany, having been declared as an unnecessary part of Louis van Gaal’s squad this year, striking an incredible 19 goals in 21 outings for Bayer this current campaign after departing Old Trafford.

As well as hoping to acquire Hernandez in January, Wenger is also aiming to lure Celta Vigo’s 29-year-old forward Nolito to north London, with the Gunners boss happy to include indifferent attacker Joel Campbell in any deal to force through a switch.
