Brighton & Hove Albion have been monitoring Espanyol's Roberto Fernández this year, as his performances in LaLiga have drawn attention from clubs seeking a young, developing number nine. Chelsea has also been monitoring the 24-year-old. Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly intensified their efforts to sign Fernández, placing him at the top of their list of attacking targets. The heightened interest follows Fernández's strong start to the season, which included six goals in seven games and resulted in his first senior cap for Spain. Premier League scouting sources believe the striker is well-suited for English football due to his physical attributes and direct running. Fernández joined Espanyol in July 2025 and his contract runs until 2031. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €20.00m.
