Alejandro Marqués has been one of Granada CF’s bright spots at the start of the season. The Venezuelan striker has begun his spell with the red-and-whites with two goals in his first six Segunda División matches, showing that he has adapted well to his new team.
Marqués already made his mark in the 1-3 win over Córdoba, where he found the net after coming on in the second half. His second goal came this weekend at Butarque. The forward came on in the 66th minute and once again made an impact from the bench by scoring in the 3-2 defeat to Leganés.
His performances are even more valuable considering his situation last season. Marqués played for Portugal’s Estoril, where he made 27 league appearances and scored five goals. A tally he now looks set to improve significantly: at Granada he already has two goals after just six matchdays.
At 26, the Venezuela international is looking to establish himself once and for all in Spanish football and play a bigger role in the red-and-whites’ plans. For now, he is making the most of his opportunities.
Amid Granada’s difficult September, Marqués’ goalscoring emergence is good news. Two goals in six matchdays, both coming off the bench, are a strong case for him to earn more minutes in the coming weeks.
