Iago Aspas is in brilliant form for Celta.
Iago Aspas is in brilliant form for Celta.

After impressing with his performances for his boyhood club, Celta Vigo, Iago Aspas joined Liverpool in 2013 for a reported fee of £7.6 million.

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 a part of the deal. However, he rejoined his hometown club Celta immediately after making his move to Sevilla permanent.

His second stint with Celta is phenomenal! He scored 65 times in 117 LaLiga games and his showings won him the Zarra trophy, which is given to the highest scoring Spaniard in the La Liga, in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons. Aspas started brilliantly this season as well and scored 10 goals in La Liga thus far.

His brilliant performances also caught the attention of the Spanish national team's coach and he made his international debut in 2016. He played 17 games for Spain until now, scoring six times.
