Porsche Cayenne S


The striker arrives for his unveiling in style.

The young man from A Coruña, Spain, started his youth career playing for a number of local sides before moving to the Spanish capital Madrid to join Atlético Madrid's C-team at the age of 19. In two seasons he made 55 appearances and scored 18 goals in the Tercera División. In 2009 he would sign with Rayo Vallecano and would help their B-team gain promotion from the Tercera División to Segunda División B with 20 goals in 30 appearances. A Lack of first team football would force the Spanish hitman to join Ukrainian side Karpaty Lviv as a free agent in 2011 on a 3 year deal. In 2013 he signed with Superleague Greece team PAOK FC but after a short spell would return to Spain on loan with Deportivo de La Coruña. His 6 goals in 21 La Liga games and all around contribution in helping the team avoid relegation would convince the club to make the deal a permanent one. The 2015-16 season would prove to be the finest of the striker's career with 17 goals and 10 assists in 31 appearances, 11 of his goals which came in flurry of 15 games, saving the club from relegation once again. In August 2017 Premier League giants Arsenal paid in excess of £17 million to secure the services of the Spaniard, however, his stint in England would not be a successful one, a lack of faith shown by the manager and limited game time would see the striker score only once in 11 appearances, he had however more success in cup competitions with 6 goals in 10 appearances. He'd return to Deportivo on loan the following season scoring 9 goals in  37 appearances but it wouldn't be enough to steer the club away off of relegation places. In August 2018 West Ham United acquired the services of the Spanish forward for £4 million.
