The attacking midfielder has also played for Atletico Madrid B. In the recently concluded season, he clocked 973 minutes while scoring only once in that period.
Chennai City meanwhile, continue with their trend of signing overseas goalkeepers after completing a deal for Aussie custodian Jerrard Tyson. Uros Poljanec’s inconsistency under the sticks had cost them some crucial points in the opening stages of the I-League and the Serbian was set free at the end of the season.
Previously, the club had announced that Spanish centre forward Pedro Cruz had been roped in along with wing back Roberto Eslava Suarez and playmaker Sandro Rodriguez Felipe. Jordi Villa, the assistant coach of the club, hails from Spain. It is believed that Villa has been instrumental in all the signings so far.
It remains to be seen whether the Spanish armada can change the fortunes of Chennai City in the coming season after they finished a lowly eighth in the league table during 2017-18.
