Chelsea are looking to sign Deportivo La Coruna winger Jeremiah Hernandez this month.
The 22-year-old has been exceptional for the Spanish side, with eight goals and three assists to his name in all competitions. He could add some much-needed progress to Chelsea’s attack and is versatile enough to operate on either wing.
According to a report by Onda Cero (h/t Nacho Sanchez), Chelsea have already made a strong offer to sign the player and they have been in contact with the player as well. It remains to be seen whether Deportivo are willing to agree to his departure. He is a key player for them and has a long-term contract with the club.
Chelsea have had an impressive season so far and will be looking to secure Champions League qualification next season. They will be looking to maintain their current form during the second half of the season and need quality additions. Adding more depth to the side will only improve their chances of finishing the season strongly.
Jeremiah Hernandez could fancy a Chelsea move
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old could be attracted to the idea of playing in the Premier League too. The move from the second tier of Spanish football to the English Premier League is a huge deal, and the player would find it difficult to turn down a move to Stamford Bridge if there was a concrete offer in front of him.
It remains to be seen whether the two clubs will be able to negotiate a deal in the coming weeks. The Blues need to improve their squad before the transfer window closes. Aside from signing a quality winger, they should look to invest in a central defender as well.

It is no surprise that Chelsea are interested in the 22-year-old, especially with the performances from Mykhailo Modric and Noni Madueke. Both players have been disappointing and Chelsea need upgrades. In addition, It is possible that Modric will be subjected to a long ban due to doping.
