Sergi Cardona's contract with UD Las Palmas is ending, and he wants to continue wearing yellow, this time with Villarreal CF.
The left-back has played the vast majority of minutes this season with UD Las Palmas, totaling 2816 minutes in 35 league matches. He started in 30 of those 35 games. His offensive contribution included 1 goal and 2 assists. Overall, his season has been satisfactory. His outstanding performances earned him a spot in the La Liga Team of the Week on four occasions.
Sergi is 24 years old and stands 1.86 meters tall. This year, he has stood out for his great defensive ability, with ball recoveries being his most notable feature, averaging 5.4 per game. Other stats reinforcing his solidity include an average of 2.6 clearances per game, 2.6 successful tackles with ball recovery per game, and winning 58% of aerial duels. Additionally, he has an 82% pass completion rate, a fundamental characteristic for the Yellow Submarine and its passing game.
Despite this defensive solidity, the Catalan is also a player who contributes in attack.
The Catalan will be a great addition to the left flank where, right now, Villarreal CF only has one natural left-back, Alfonso Pedraza. Due to injuries to the Andalusian, Jorge Cuenca had to cover the position several times last season, but it is not his natural position. The signing of Sergi Cardona, at no cost, seems to be another great move by the club's sporting management.
