Both English clubs are considering whether to pay the £5m (€6m) release clause in the Spaniard's contract, with the teenager set to turn 18 in July.

The attacking midfielder was a key member of Barcelona's UEFA Youth title-winning Under-19 side this season, scoring two goals, including the winner in the semi-final against AZ Alkmaar.

In Chelsea's case, it's suggested they would seek to sign Hernandez Torres in order to place him at French partners Strasbourg next season.

A regular with Barca Atletic, Hernandes Torres is yet to make his first team debut with the Blaugrana.
