Boss Daniel Farke has had issues out wide so far with Norwich.

Josh Murphy started well but has hit a run of bad form, and Marley Watkins has struggled to make an impact since joining from Barnsley.

Yanic Wildschut has also struggled to get into the team.

Hernandez would add pace and strength out wide for Norwich, something that has been noticeably lacking so far this season.

Despite this likely arrival, Norwich still expect to keep hold of star man James Maddison.

Marcus Edwards has also arrived on loan from Spurs.
