I've the same problem and my solution was copy this class in my project AddDimensionedImage and then used this method.

protected void addImageInCell(Sheet sheet, URL url, Drawing drawing, int colNumber, int rowNumber) {
    BufferedImage imageIO = ImageIO.read(url);
    int height = imageIO.getHeight();
    int width = imageIO.getWidth();
    int relativeHeight = (int) (((double) height / width) * 28.5);
    new AddDimensionedImage().addImageToSheet(colNumber, rowNumber, sheet, drawing, url, 30, relativeHeight,
            AddDimensionedImage.EXPAND_ROW_AND_COLUMN);

}

you can call this method with follow line:

URL url = new URL("https://blog.expedia.mx/por-que-los-viajeros-internacionales-visitan-mexico/");
addImageInCell(sheet, url, sheet.createDrawingPatriarch(), 0, 0);
