The Eintracht Braunschweig, who has scored or assisted three goals this season, could be heading for Norwich City this month.
Onel Hernandez has withdrawn himself from Eintracht Braunschweig’s squad to face 1. FC Heidenheim on Wednesday, amid interest from Norwich City.
German website unser38.de reports that Braunschweig are in negotiations with Norwich over the sale of Hernandez, a 24-year-old, predominantly, left-sided winger.
And according to the 2. Bundesliga side’s director of football Marc Arnold, who is said to be conducting those talks, Hernandez has informed his employers that he is ‘unable to perform’.
“He told us that he is currently unable to perform and therefore plays no role in the Heidenheim game,” said Arnold, as quoted by unser38.de.
Norwich sold attacking midfielder Alex Pritchard to Huddersfield Town earlier this month, for a rumoured eight-figure fee.
And Hernandez, who is two-footed and can operate anywhere behind the main striker, could be a useful replacement.
The former Arminia Bielefeld player should be well known to Norwich boss Daniel Farke, who managed in Germany’s lower leagues before his move to Carrow Road last summer.
He could link up with former 2. Bundesliga players Marco Stiepermann, Christoph Zimmermann and Mario Vrancic in Norfolk.
Would Hernandez be a good signing for Norwich City?
