Carlos Martin - Switches to AlavesMartin has completed a transfer to Alaves from Atletico Madrid, according to his new club.

ImpactMartin is moving from one Spanish team to another, remaining in La Liga to join Alaves. He served last season on loan, playing with Mirandes in the second tier of Spanish football where he would score 15 goals. He has only ever made five appearances in La Liga, appearing off the bench every time for a total of 30 minutes while with Atletico Madrid. That said, he should see more time with his new club but shouldn't be expected to see starting time immediately if at all.
