Characteristics

“I’m a box striker, a finisher, who attacks the space, likes to battle between the centre-backs, and be the reference point in the press. My objective? Take it day by day. The team has a lot of ambition, I was told there’s an incredible group here, and it’s going to be a great year.”

Interest from afar

“Last year was just a first contact, there was no offer. I was clear that if the opportunity came up, Málaga would be my first choice. This year I’ve been lucky enough to make it happen, and I haven’t had a single doubt.”

Strikers

“I’ve been here two days and I’ve spoken a bit with everyone. You can see Chupe is really motivated, the competition is very positive. The young players are hungry, and I think we can complement each other well.”

Pellicer

“Things are good with the coach; he’s clear in his messages. I had already heard good things about him, he has clear ideas, and I’m looking forward to working with him and seeing the weeks progress.”

Goals

“As a striker, scoring goals is the first thing you want. Hopefully, I’ll score lots of them, at La Rosaleda or away. Goals are always important.”

Historic club

“This club has always come up in conversations with everyone. It’s a historic club that everyone would love to play for. I told my agent to do everything possible to get me here.”
