Iago Aspas failed to adjust in the English football and scored just one goal in the 15 games that he played for the Reds before he was sent on loan to Sevilla, with a permanent move as part of the deal. However, he rejoined his hometown club Celta immediately after making his Sevilla move permanent.

His second stint with Celta has been phenomenal! He has scored 59 times in 107 LaLiga games and his showings won him the Zarra trophy given to the highest scoring Spaniard in the LaLiga in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons.

His brilliant performances also caught the attention of the Spanish national team's coach and he made his international debut in 2016. He played 16 games for Spain until now, scoring six times.
