Interestingly, the report suggest that the Gunners will sell their mercurial playmaker Mesut Özil to fund the sale. Given that the former Germany international has recently signed a new £350k-per-week deal with the club, this does seem unlikely. However, Emery still appears reluctant to utilise the player, and could perhaps offload him to free up some transfer funds.
With the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool spending vast sums of money on new players in recent times, Arsenal have been unable to compete in the transfer market. Hermoso could represent a fine value for money deal, and prove a shrewd investment, given the player's clear potential for ongoing improvement.
Meanwhile, Emery has warned his players over their conduct following Saturday's 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town, after three of them were booked for diving.
