Alex Centelles, a formidable left wing-back moving from Valencia CF
The 21-year-old player moves from Valencia CF and signs with Almeria for two years
UD Almería completed a new signing, the sixteenth in this hectic summer transfer window that comes to an end on Monday. He is another highly-rated young player, whose name is Alex Centelles. He is a left-back from Valencia CF who has just been transferred on a two-year deal.
The new Rojiblanco footballer, 21 years old, is a formidable left wing-back. He is 1,85 metres tall and provides customary lung-bursting runs down the left wing exploiting half spaces effortlessly. He is an excellent crosser with great passing accuracy, even without having to approach the goal line.
Alejandro Centelles Plaza was born on 30th August, 1999 in Valencia. He started his football career at Valencia CF Youth, moving up ranks until he became one of the key players at Valencia Mestalla competing in the third tier of Spanish football. In the last 2019/20 campaign he made the leap to the first-team and was then loaned to the top-tier Portuguese club FC Famalicão, making 30 appearances.
He played for Valencia CF last season with Javi Gracia in the driving seat, former head coach of UD Almería. Alex Centelles was a highly-rated Spain Under-19s international who now becomes a new Rojiblanco player.
