So impressive has he been, Real Madrid want to buy him, as do Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Marseille – but Liverpool believe we can beat the European giants by offering an increased chance of first-team football and a bigger pay-packet.
Hernandez is a mighty fine prospect… He’s rapid, creative but has a steely, aggressive side and doesn’t commit defensive suicide like his countryman Alberto Moreno – who could leave this summer after making just two Premier League starts all campaign.
