DONE DEAL: Alaves snap up Atletico Madrid youngster Theo Hernandez

Alaves have snapped up Atletico Madrid youngster Theo Hernandez.

Hernandez has signed for Deportivo Alaves on loan from Atletico Madrid.

The Frenchman is the eleventh player to join the newly-promoted side this summer, as coach Mauricio Pellegrino looks to build a team capable of avoiding relegation.

The son of former Rojiblancos defender Jean-Francois Hernandez, 18-year-old Theo Hernandez is considered one of the most promising prospects to emerge from Atletico Madrid's academy.
