Jonathan Viera

Las Palmas

Born in Las Palmas, Viera finished his youth career with hometown club Las Palmas, where he earned the nickname Romário. He made his senior debut with the reserve team, appearing in ten Segunda División B games in the 2008–09 season and suffering relegation. On 18 February 2010, he renewed his contract until June 2013. Viera was definitely promoted to the main squad for 2010–11, as the team competed in the Segunda División. He finished the campaign with 31 matches (26 starts) and six goals, including three in a 5–3 away win against Barcelona B on 15 May 2011, which all but certified the Canary Islands side's permanence. In January 2012, amidst rumours of a transfer – Las Palmas inclusively had everything arranged with Granada but the deal eventually fell through – Viera assured he would stay with his club until the end of the season. He finished as the second-best top scorer in the squad at nine, only trailing another youth graduate, Vitolo, by one goal.

Valencia

On 6 May 2012, one month before the Las Palmas season ended, Viera signed with La Liga's Valencia for five years and €2.5 million. He made his official debut against Barcelona, playing 13 minutes of a 1–0 away loss. Viera scored his first goal in the top flight on 29 September 2012, closing the 2–0 home victory over Real Zaragoza. On 30 August of the following year, he was loaned to Madrid-based Rayo Vallecano in a season-long move without the option of making the deal permanent…

Viera played once with the Spain under-21s, featuring the last minutes of the 1–1 friendly draw with Belarus in Alcalá de Henares. On 9 October 2017, as the full side had already qualified as group champions for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, manager Julen Lopetegui handed him his debut, and he played the entire 1–0 away win over Israel.
