Ex-Palermo chief Sabatini admits English contact for Arsenal, Chelsea target Hernandez

Former Palermo sports chief Walter Sabatini has confirmed interest from English clubs in striker Abel Hernandez.

The Uruguay international has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea this year.

And Sabatini reveals to calciomercato.com: "Yes, there was some truth to it.

"But I'm now seeing a significant reduction in his form since this spotlight was shone. He has suffered because all day long there is talk of him going to an important club, when he should be focused on the here and now."
