The Club Deportivo Tenerife continues its ambitious talent recruitment policy and has just secured the signing of young left-footed central defender Alejandro Poch from the Gran Canaria academy, although his versatility allows him to play in midfield due to his more attacking profile. In this way, ‘Tete’ continues with its sports planning for the upcoming season, aiming to have the best footballers in its ranks. This budding 17-year-old player is a bet on the future by ‘Tete’ for emerging talents. Poch has played for UD Las Palmas and Arucas, where he even made his debut this year with the Arucas club’s third team. This ambidextrous player had more offers from professional league teams, but ultimately chose Tenerife through ‘Elite FGC Agency’. In fact, coach Jesús and scouting coordinator, Jony Vega, have been monitoring the player’s progress, as he possesses a well-rounded skill set including space management, vision, ball distribution and a height of 1.87m. Qualities that fit perfectly with the needs of a club with a promising future. “Poch has very interesting characteristics for any high-level competition team,” acknowledges Kevin Pérez, director of ‘Elite FGC Agency’, adding that “this new step will help him continue growing as a player.” With this signing, Alejandro Poch follows the path of other Gran Canarian players like Christian Hernández or Aidan Pérez, who also made the move to Tenerife last summer. Those close to the player emphasize that the main goal is to evolve as a player, and this is the perfect opportunity at a club that has shown great interest in his signing. The club’s culture and their work with the academy are other factors that influenced the player’s decision to make the move to the neighbouring island.
