Yéremy Jesús Pino Santos (born 20 October 2002) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Premier League club Crystal Palace and the Spain national team.

An academy graduate of Villarreal, Pino made his first-team debut in 2020, and started as Villarreal won the 2021 UEFA Europa League final in his first season, becoming the youngest player to win the competition. He later left Villarreal and signed with English club Crystal Palace in August 2025.

Pino represented Spain at various youth levels before making his senior international debut in 2021 and being included in the squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He was part of the squad that won the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League, starting in the final.

Club career

Villareal

Early career

Pino was born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, and joined Las Palmas' youth setup in 2014, after representing Huracán and Barrio Atlántico.[3] On 22 June 2017, after turning down an offer from Barcelona, he signed for Villarreal.[4]

Pino made his senior debut with the C-team on 24 August 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Fer Niño and scoring the third of a 3–0 Tercera División away win against Recambios Colón.[5] After finishing his first senior season with three goals in 20 appearances, he was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.

2020–21 season

After spending the pre-season with the first team under Unai Emery, Pino made his professional debut on 22 October 2020, replacing Francis Coquelin in a 5–3 UEFA Europa League victory against Sivasspor.[6] He made his La Liga debut three days later, again from the bench in a 0–0 draw at Cádiz.[7]

Pino scored his first professional goal on 29 October 2020, netting the equalizer in a 3–1 away success over Qarabağ also in the European competition.[8] On 12 November, he renewed his contract with the club until 2024.[9] On 26 May 2021, Pino played in the 2021 UEFA Europa League Final – becoming the youngest Spanish player to start a major European final, aged 18 years and 218 days – breaking the previous record of Iker Casillas in the 2000 UEFA Champions League Final, aged 19 years and 4 days.[10] He also became the youngest player to win the competition, eclipsing the record set by Robin van Persie in the 2002 UEFA Cup Final.[11]

2021–22 season and beyond

Pino scored four times on 27 February 2022 as Villarreal won 5–1 at home to Espanyol, having only two goals for the season to his name before the game. He also became the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the first half of a La Liga match.[12] In November 2023, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee, and was ruled out for the rest of the 2023–24 season, making his return the following summer.[13]

Crystal Palace

On 29 August 2025, Pino signed for Premier League club Crystal Palace in a deal worth £26 million.[14] He was assigned the number 10 shirt, replacing the departing Eberechi Eze, who moved to Arsenal.[15]

On 2 October 2025, Pino registered his first two goal contributions for Palace, assisting both Daniel Muñoz and Eddie Nketiah in a 2–0 away win over Dynamo Kyiv in the UEFA Conference League.[16] Pino scored his first goal for Crystal Palace in their 3–0 win over Liverpool in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on 29 October.[17]

International career

Pino represented Spain at under-17 and under-18 levels, also acting as team captain for the latter side.[18] Due to the isolation of some national team players following the positive COVID-19 test of Sergio Busquets, Spain's under-21 squad were called up for the international friendly against Lithuania on 8 June 2021.[19]

Pino made his debut for the senior squad on 6 October 2021 in the 2021 UEFA Nations League semi-final against Italy, replacing the injured Ferran Torres after 49 minutes in a 2–1 victory.[20] Four days later, he came off the bench for Pablo Sarabia in a defeat by the same score in the final against France.[21]

Pino's first start for Spain came on 29 March 2022 in a friendly match against Iceland in A Coruña, scoring his first goal in a 5–0 victory.[22] He was later included in Spain's squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, though he was an unused subtitute throughout the tournament.

On 15 June 2023, Pino scored the opener in a 2–1 victory over Italy in the 2023 UEFA Nations League semi-final.[23] He started in the final three days later against Croatia, winning his first international trophy as Spain triumphed on penalties following a 0–0 draw.[24]

Due to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in November 2023, Pino was unable to take part in UEFA Euro 2024.[13] He made his return to the national team against Switzerland on 8 September 2024, and later came off the bench for Lamine Yamal in the 2025 UEFA Nations League final on 8 June 2025 as Spain lost on penalties to Portugal.[25]
