Borja Iglesias, born on 17 January 1993 (age 33), is a Spanish striker with Celta Vigo, where he wears the number 7 shirt.
His sharpest league season came at Real Zaragoza in 2017-18, when he scored 22 goals in 39 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his best work as a centre-forward: productive, direct, and useful without needing much dressing up.
At Celta Vigo in 2026-27, Iglesias has made three appearances in all competitions and scored twice, both goals coming in the Copa del Rey. He has also made one LaLiga appearance. His form has been solid, though he has been outside the matchday squad recently, with his last outing coming in Celta de Vigo’s 1-3 defeat to SC Freiburg on 16 April 2026.
He has also been involved with Spain this season, making one World Cup appearance and three appearances in European World Cup qualifiers.
Iglesias’ career is that of an established Spanish striker, with his Real Zaragoza scoring run still standing out and his current role at Celta Vigo more measured than headline-grabbing.
