CLUB CAREER
He began his professional career with Spanish side Valencia CF and transferred to English club Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 2018. He was on loan at Spanish team UD Las Palmas for the 2018/19 season, and English club Nottingham Forest for the first half of the 2019/20 season, before being loaned to Spanish side SD Huesca for the second half of the 2019/20 season and the entire 2020/21 season. "I feel more identified with Spanish football. In England, it is played differently. It's been a season [2020/21] of growth, of continuing to improve, which is what I want, to progress as a footballer. I think that this season, from an individual point of view, hasn't been bad, but I always put the collective first."
