Career

No transfer history

Son is Ludogorets's Silver Engine. Now 32 and building his body of work in Bulgaria following a 2023 departure from Levante, the Spanish native operates with a relentless motor. Still searching for his first piece of career silverware, his hunger remains entirely evident on the pitch.

Over 11 appearances and 817 minutes of action, he completely embodies the SQUAD PLAYER role—a reliable option who consistently delivers when called upon. His profile presents an intriguing hybrid dynamic. Hitting top form as an offensive threat, he arrives in the box with genuine intent, a fact underscored by an important goal. An impressive Shooting dimension stands as his primary weapon, giving him a clinical edge rarely associated with typical midfield workhorses.

Valued at €2M with a falling market trajectory, the broader stakes are high for the veteran. Yet, his upward trajectory on the pitch suggests he is fiercely determined to rewrite that narrative and maintain a vital role within the squad.
