David Fuster

Villarreal and Elche

Fuster was born in Oliva, Valencia. Aged 22, he was signed from his hometown club by Villarreal, but spent four years exclusively with its reserves, helping to achieve promotion to Segunda División B in 2007. In 2008, Fuster was sold to neighbours Elche, with an option to rebuy afterwards. After a solid 2008–09 season in the Segunda División – he was their topscorer at 13, tied for tenth in the league – he was rebought by Villarreal for €500.000. He was relatively played in his debut campaign, scoring his first goal for the club in the 3–2 away defeat against Sevilla on 8 November 2009. On 2 January 2010, he added another in the 1–1 draw at La Liga and UEFA Champions League champions Barcelona.

Olympiacos

In late August 2010, Fuster signed for Olympiacos in Greece for €1.5 million, rejoining his former Villarreal acquaintances Ariel Ibagaza and Ernesto Valverde (manager). In his first season he won the Super League and reached the quarter-finals of the domestic cup, ranking third in the scoring charts and leading the team in minutes played. Fuster scored his first goal in the Champions League on 28 September 2011, in a 2–1 away defeat against Arsenal. He also netted in the second game between the two sides (3–1 home win), as the Piraeus side finished third in their group, being relegated to the UEFA Europa League; in the latter competition, his second-half strike was the only of the away win over Rubin Kazan in the round of 32…
