Born on January 4, 1997, the Spanish football player known as 'Angeliño', or Esmoris Tasende by his full name, is a stalwart in the defender position who currently serves as a left back for Roma. He stands at 5 feet 6 inches (approximately 1.7 meters) tall and weighs roughly 10 stone 9 pounds (around 68 kilograms). The present number 3 jersey wearer at Roma boasts a rather enviable market value estimated to be around £17 million, a figure verified by the aptly reputable football website Transfermarkt.
The Spaniard cut his teeth at Manchester City, joining the English Premier League giants as a trainee in the summer of 2013. Despite making a total of six first team appearances in league matches during the 2019 - 2020 season for the Cityzens, Angeliño's stint at the club was mostly characterized by a series of loans to other football clubs.
His initial loans saw him moving across the pond to play with New York City FC in the MLS in the United States in July 2015, and then returned to his native Spain with Girona and Mallorca in the LaLiga in January 2017. Notably, his tenure at Mallorca was marked by him making 17 first team appearances in that season's league matches. Later in July 2017, he headed North, joining NAC Breda in the Eredivisie in the Netherlands, where he tallied an impressive 34 appearances and netted three goals.
Furthering his experience in the Dutch league, Angeliño transferred to PSV in July 2018 at a fee of roughly £5 million. He maintained an active presence, scoring one goal and making 34 first team appearances in league matches that season.
A £11 million deal brought him back to Manchester City in 2019, followed shortly by a loan move in January 2020 to RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. It's here his career seemingly took a stride as he made 13 first team appearances and scored one goal. His steady rise continued, with the 2020 - 2021 and the 2021 - 2022 seasons seeing him participating in a total of 55 first team appearances and scoring six goals for RB Leipzig. The German club was convinced enough to confirm his full transfer from Manchester City at a cost of around £16 million in July 2021.
Another loan to 1899 Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga saw him make 33 first team appearances during the 2022 - 2023 season. Further loans to Galatasaray in Turkey, and finally, to Roma in the Serie A in Italy followed.
Having made his mark in Rome, notably making 38 first team appearances and scoring two goals during the 2024 - 2025 season, he was officially transferred from RB Leipzig to Roma for about £4.4 million. As of now, Angeliño stars in Roma's current 2025 - 2026 season, having made five first team appearances in the league.
Angeliño's Europa League track record is also worth noting, with him having made four appearances for Roma in the 2023 - 2024 season, followed by another appearance as a substitute in the current 2025 - 2026 season.
