Hermoso is class on the ball for a defender, that’s what has stood out to me when I’ve seen him. If Emery wants to go possession based for £18M he’s probably the best value out there, that’s why there’s the elite clubs after him.
I do worry he’s a little bit too similar to what we have already in terms of CBs though. I think you need a brick sh*thouse type next to him as a stopper and we’d have to get that next year.
His long-ball accuracy is something like 50%. Sprays them around for fun. I don't know if he adds the pace and height that we lack, in fact he probably doesn't, so that's not ideal. Someone like Konate would add that in buckets.

He’s good in the air but like you say he’s not built like a Van Dijk or Koulibaly. I think a player in that mould would be the final stone in the gauntlet so to speak. Doubt we’d be able to get that now as well as Hermoso.
Hermoso would be very cheap and someone who’d help us play a winning style of football. All for it.
Heard his name often in Bayern and Real Madrid forums.
Many Real Fans would have been happy, if he would be their third choice some time ago.
Really improved in the last seasons, left foot. Could be a good deal for this money.
We seem getting linked with many CB if we that hermoso and Saliba would be great can't see us signing tow unless we going to sell many of our CB
Also mavropanos need a loan next season 100% sure we selling Chambers and mustafi if good offer comes in not sure about koshDepends on the outgoings. Mustafi will be gone if they can shift him and Koscielny might end up leaving if we win the Europa. Chambers could be sold as well. We'll need to sign two if those three leave.
I like what I've read about him and seen from him on Youtube.
It's also important we sign a left-footed CB who is good on the ball. Our entire stock is right-footed, as well as all players we're linked to bar Umtiti.
Think this would be a good acquisition, especially as one of two signings (perhaps the other should be more physically imposing though, like Tah).
