The Spanish striker spoke of his desire to see key additions added to the LaLiga squad this summer

Iago Aspas told 'Television de Galicia' that he wanted Santi Mina, Denis Suarez and Rafinha to all join him at Celta Vigo next season.

"I'd love Santi Mina to come back. Just like I would Denis Suarez and Rafinha," Aspas insisted.

The striker also mentioned Joselu, currently at Newcastle United, as he looks to Celta forming a more competitive side this summer.

Denis came through the youth ranks at Celta and made his debut with the youth side at just 16. He was quickly picked up by Manchester City, then FC Barcelona, before spells on loan at Sevilla and Villarreal. He was then bought back by Barça before spending an injury-plagued six months at Arsenal.

Rafinha grew up in Vigo as his father, Mazinho, used to play for Celta (1996-2000). He never spent time in the academy there although he did spend a season on loan at Celta in 2013/14. After another great spell out at Inter he returned to the first team fold at the Camp Nou before yet more injury problems derailed his plans.
