Pablo Hernandez eager to face Arsenal

Swansea City midfielder Pablo Hernandez has revealed that Arsenal are a team that he has been impressed with for many years.

The 27-year-old is an injury doubt for his side's game with the Gunners on Saturday but the Spanish midfielder has revealed that he taken a big interest in the careers of Cesc Fabregas and Santi Cazorla at the Emirates Stadium.

Hernandez told reporters: "I don't know how bad the injury is, but I'd hope to be okay for the weekend.

"I hope so because I am looking forward to playing Arsenal. They are a team I have watched for many years in the Champions League, playing great games against Barcelona, Real Madrid and Milan.

"It was great to watch Cesc Fabregas for them and now Santi Cazorla."

Hernandez has impressed at the Liberty Stadium since his £5.5m move from Valencia during the summer.
