Experience in Spanish football

He was trained in the Benfica youth system and, after his time at the Galician team, joined AS Monaco. After that, he packed his bags to start his adventure in the Premier League: First at Wolverhampton and later at Leeds United. In addition, he has been a senior international with Portugal.
