Fernandez impressed a number of scouts in the recent Champions League qualifying clashes with Celtic. And following the Hoops' win in Moscow on Wednesday, Fernandez could now be ready to move on. The Argentina international defender, who has EU citizenship, has been with Dinamo since 2006, when he joined from River Plate. Fernandez is a big fans' favourite at Dinamo and is regarded as one of the best defenders in the Russian top-flight. But now the 26-year-old could be set to depart the club, with interest mounting in England. The Toffees, the Hammers, Arsenal and Aston Villa are all believed to be showing a keen interest. "The interest in Leandro Fernandez is significant," his British representative Barry McIntosh told Sky Sports. "At this point, though, it is too early to talk about names or specific clubs. "But Luis is keen on a move to the Premier League, that is true."
