Jonathan Viera becomes UD Almería's 5th January transfer window recruit after signing as a free agent player. The footballer from Gran Canaria puts pen-to-paper on a deal until 2025. He is a player who needs no introduction due to his extensive and proven footballing career. His last stage at UD Las Palmas ended in December for personal reasons and he closed a cycle where in 265 games he scored 75 goals for the Amarillo team.
Viera's natural position is No.'10' although he performs in all forward spots. The latest signing has featured in nearly 150 games in the Spanish Primera Division with 30 goals and 30 assists to his name, numbers within the reach of few players in his position.
Excellent tactical awareness and combinative style are some of his most outstanding characteristics. In addition to his successful spell at UD Las Palmas, where he served as captain, Jonathan Viera has also played for Valencia CF and Rayo Vallecano as well as Belgian side Standard Lieja and Chinese team Beijing Guoan. He is experienced in international matches since he has played in the Champions League, UEFA Europa League and AFC (Asian Champions), as well as play-offs for promotion.
Without a doubt, UD Almería will get a boost with his addition as the 34-year-old is committed to fighting for the challenge of a difficult but not impossible league survival. Jonathan Viera signs until 2025.
