He discovered the Premier League at the age of 21 in summer of 2020.
Despite his young age, his consistency and level of performance in La Liga opened the doors to the Premier League and more specifically Southampton where he signed a long term contract.
Recognized across the Channel for his athletic qualities and aerial play, the 1.91m central defender has become an important part of the Saints squad over the seasons, with whom he has played a total of 80 games, including 68 in the Premier League.
