Iago Aspas

Iago Aspas of Celta Vigo was born in Moaña, Spain on 1 August 1987 (age 39).

Iago Aspas (born 1 August 1987, age 39) is a Spanish striker whose career has been shaped overwhelmingly at Celta Vigo. Wearing the No 10 shirt, he has built the sort of long service that is rare enough without dressing it up: 516 league appearances and 203 league goals across 17 seasons.

His sharpest league return came in 2011-12, when he scored 22 goals in 35 appearances for Celta. That season sits neatly in the wider pattern of his career: productive, durable and rooted in one club rather than spread thinly around Europe.

In 2026-27, Aspas remains involved for Celta Vigo, with nine LaLiga appearances and one goal, plus three Europa League appearances. Across all competitions this season he has made 12 appearances and scored once.

His profile is straightforward: a Spanish striker, long-serving Celta Vigo No 10, and a player whose record is best read through sustained output over many years rather than a short burst elsewhere.
