The decision to sign for Valencia CF“When I started talking to Miguel Ángel Corona, I realised that there was a lot in common between Valencia CF and me, because I have a lot of hunger. I have also seen that, due to the situation of the club, there is also a lot of hunger here, and I saw this coinciding in motivation that made me choose to come here”.

Contact from the club

“They have been in contact with me for about three weeks now. Valencia CF are one of the biggest clubs in Spain and we are both in the same situation of hunger and growth.”

The team

“It is true that Valencia CF's position at the moment is not where they normally are. Valencia CF are hungry, as was shown yesterday against Real Madrid, but we were unlucky.”

Carlos Corberán

“I have spoken to him and he has explained what they need from me. They need us all to fight. That is the mission: To fight for Valencia CF. The most important thing is to focus on the work by the team.”

His experience at Real Sociedad

“All players need continuity and I haven’t had that at La Real. Coaches make their decisions, which I respect, but I have to keep moving and I hope to do my best. I wish the best for Real Sociedad too.”

His knee injury

“I suffered a serious knee injury. I was at my best before, but now I feel 100% physically, what I need is regular football.”

His best formation

“As a striker, what I want is to score goals and get the best results possible.”
