Arsenal remain in pursuit of Espanyol centre-back Mario Hermoso, and the Spanish side have now accepted that keeping their star player at the club could be too much of a challenge.
The 23-year-old has enjoyed two impressive seasons with Espanyol, attracting the interest from many of Europe's biggest clubs. Alongside Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid are all thought to be keen on the Spaniard.
Signing Hermoso would not be simple for Arsenal, but Mundo Deportivo claim that the Gunners are still closely following the defender, with a view to a bid this summer.
