Chelsea are rumoured to be interested in signing Deportivo La Coruna player Yeremay Hernandez in the January transfer window.
Hernandez is enjoying the best season of his short career in the Segunda Division and fully deserves to be linked with top clubs.
The Spain under-21 international is expected to cost around £17 million this month, with Deportivo currently in a relegation battle.
The Chelsea Chronicle shares everything you need to know about Blues transfer target Yeremay ahead of a potential January move to Stamford Bridge.
Get to know Chelsea transfer target Yeremy Hernandez
Yeremay Hernandez age
Yeremay Hernandez Cubas was born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain on December 10, 2002. He joined Las Palmas’ academy as an eight-year-old and left for Real Madrid in 2015, aged 12.
Yeremay Hernandez height
Hernandez is five feet, seven inches tall (1.69 metres). Five centimetres shorter than Pedro Neto, he would be the shortest player in the Chelsea squad.
What is Yeremay Hernandez’s best position?
Yeremay’s best position is left wing, as it allows him to cut inside onto his stronger right foot. The Spaniard can also play on the opposite flank or as an attacking midfielder.
Yeremay Hernandez stats
Yeremy has only played 77 times in his senior club career, all of them for Deportivo. He became a first-team regular in the 2023/24 season and provided eight goal contributions in 25 appearances in the Spanish third tier.
The 22-year-old has levelled up in the 2024/25 campaign with eight goals and three assists so far in the Segunda Division after being promoted last year. He has set up one goal in two games for Spain’s under-21 side.
Yeremay Hernandez transfer value
Hernandez has a transfer value of £1.68 million, according to Transfermarkt. This is significantly lower than most of Chelsea’s senior players.
However, Alfie Gilchrist only broke into the Blues’ first team last season and is already reportedly worth £4.62 million, demonstrating that Yeremay’s could soon rise.
What is Yeremay Hernandez’s EA Sports FC rating?
Yeremay has a current rating of 73 and a potential rating of 85 in EA Sports FC 25. His best attributes include dribbling (80), acceleration (78) and ball control (75).
If the winger continues to impress throughout the 2024/25 season, his overall rating should be upgraded to around 75 when the new game comes out in Autumn.
