Iago Aspas, born on 1 August 1987 (age 39), is a Spanish striker whose career has been shaped overwhelmingly by Celta Vigo. Wearing the number 10, he has given the club 512 league appearances and 203 league goals across 17 seasons, which is the sort of body of work that does not need much dressing up.
His sharpest league return came in 2011-12, when he scored 22 goals in 35 appearances for Celta. That season sits neatly within the larger pattern: Aspas has been less a passing forward than a long-term reference point for the side, a scorer with enough longevity to make the totals feel substantial rather than merely busy.
In 2026-27, he has made five LaLiga appearances and scored one goal for Celta Vigo. His form has been solid, though he has been out of the matchday squad recently, with his last appearance coming in Celta de Vigo 1-3 SC Freiburg on 16 April 2026.
Aspas’s career is, in plain terms, a Celta Vigo career: long, productive, and still active, with his best years and his current role both tied to the same club.
