Leeds United fans prepare for disappointment as Hernandez pic mystery solved

A late night picture from Abel Hernandez’s Instagram story tantalisingly showed a nighttime clip of him filming an airport lounge from a stationary plane window.

That got many people, including myself here on The72, wondering just what was happening with the former Hull City forward who has been a free agent for over three weeks now.

A player of this calibre is not normally left on the shelf for so long, you’d expect some teams linked with him to jump in and snap him up.

With the Championship season fast approaching, it would have been conceivable for Leeds fans to possibly think that the Uruguayan was on his way to the club. There are still some Whites fans who were holding out against all hopes that it was Leeds United that Hernandez was bound for.

However, twitter account Scouts in Attendance (@scoutsattending) scotched all faintly remaining hopes that United fans might have with the following tweet:

Contrary to our possible conjecture from earlier, it appears that Abel Hernandez is calling time on his adventure in English football to start up a new chapter in his career with CSKA Moscow.

The linked article in the above tweet to Russian language site Championat says that Hernandez has “arrived in Moscow before moving to CSKA” and confirmed that his Instagram story indeed “showed the arrival in Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport.” They also confirmed that he is to take up a three-year deal with a salary of around €3 million per year.

With Hernandez now out of the picture, and with Derby County on the verge on snapping up Jack Marriott, maybe the dominoes are just falling into place for renewed interest from the Whites in Matej Vydra.
