Despite enduring an awful start to life in the Premier League, Chelsea winger Juan Cuadrado remains very popular in his homeland.
Cuadrado was widely mocked by fans and journalists last season, as he failed to adjust to life in England following his £26.1m February transfer from Fiorentina.
He failed to score in 14 first-team games for the Blues.
Nevertheless, he is still seen as a hero in Latin America.

In fact, the Colombian international recently won a fan vote hosted by EA Sports to determine who will feature on the cover of FIFA 16 alongside Lionel Messi.
While Cuadrado will partner Messi on the cover of the game in Latin American, either Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane, Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson, Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero or Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
