'''Alexei Eremenko''' (born '''Aleksei Alekseyevich Yeryomenko'''; {{langx|ru|Алексей Алексеевич Ерёменко}}; born 24 March 1983) is a former professional [[association football|footballer]]. He is from a footballing family, with his father, [[Aleksei Yeryomenko]], and brothers [[Roman Eremenko]] and [[Sergei Eremenko]] also playing professionally.

Eremenko was born in [[Rostov-on-Don]] in the [[Soviet Union]], but grew up in Finland. He made his breakthrough with [[Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi|HJK]] in 2002, and became known as versatile [[midfielder]] and a set piece specialist. A mediocre spell with Italian club [[U.S. Lecce|Lecce]] followed, before he came to prominence at Russian club [[FC Saturn Ramenskoe|Saturn]]. He moved to [[FC Metalist Kharkiv|Metalist Kharkiv]] in 2009, but was loaned out twice, especially impressing with [[Kilmarnock F.C.|Kilmarnock]] where he was nominated for the 2010–11 [[SPFA Players' Player of the Year|Players' Player of the Year]] award. He returned to the club on a permanent deal in January 2014. After failing to negotiate a contract extension, he played in Finland until retiring from football in 2017.

Eremenko represented [[Finland national football team|Finland]] between 2003 and 2013, and was a key player for the team in [[Football World Cup 2006 (qualification)|2006 World Cup qualifying]], scoring seven goals, four of which came from [[Direct free kick|free kicks]]. He ended his international career with 57 caps in which he scored 14 goals.

==Early life==
Eremenko was born in [[Rostov-on-Don]], [[Russian SFSR]], [[Soviet Union]] but moved to Finland with his family at the age of seven when his father, former [[FC Dynamo Moscow]] and [[FC Spartak Moscow]] player [[Aleksei Yeryomenko]], came to play in Finland with [[FF Jaro]]. He was granted Finnish citizenship in 2003, but still holds a [[Russian passport]] as well. He is the elder brother of fellow footballers [[Roman Eremenko]] and [[Sergei Eremenko]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://apnews.com/2b892a018374403aacec1c00623b9ead|title=FIFA clears Russia switch for Finnish teenager Eremenko|website=[[Associated Press News]] |date=24 April 2018}}</ref>

==Club career==
Eremenko spent some time with [[Tromsø IL]] in Norway, where he played for the U15 team while his father played for the senior team. He then joined the youth academy of [[FC Metz]] in France, before returning to Finland to make his [[Veikkausliiga]] debut with [[FC Jokerit]] in 2001. A trial with [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] followed, but he ended up joining [[Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi|HJK]] in 2002.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/k/kilmarnock/8957518.stm |title=Kilmarnock sign Finnish midfielder Alexei Eremenko |website=news.bbc.co.uk |date=31 August 2010 |access-date=28 June 2025 }}</ref>

There, Eremenko played alongside his father, who helped their side win two Finnish championships (2002 and 2003) and one [[Finnish Cup]], thus becoming the first-ever father-son duo in the history of football to win a title in the top tier.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.iffhs.com/posts/3988 |title=Winning football dynasty |website=www.iffhs.com |date=14 November 2024 |access-date=28 June 2025 }}</ref>

In the summer of 2004, Eremenko moved abroad, joining Italian [[Serie A]] club [[U.S. Lecce]] for €250,000. He made 38 appearances with Lecce in all competitions, but after failing to make a major breakthrough at Lecce, he moved to [[Russian Premier League]] club [[FC Leon Saturn Ramenskoye]] on a four-year deal in January 2006 [[transfer window]] for a transfer fee of €1.5 million, becoming a key player for the Russian side.
