The footballer born in Roquetas de Mar has provided no more and no less than 14 assists in the league this season. The last one came this Saturday when he assisted Morales in a (1-1) draw against Osasuna. Thanks to that goal pass, he is the best assistant in the major European leagues. The only one on his level is another Spaniard, Alejandro Grimaldo. Both are expected to be in the Euro Cup with Spain, so many goals for the team could come from their associations.
