Reading Time: < 1 minute

Emilio Nsue. Age: 25. Winger.

Spanish-born but father from Equatorial Guinea. Nsue was still a teenager when he made his debut for hometown club Real Mallorca. Played for Spain at all junior levels from under-16 upwards but after being left out of the under-23 squad for the 2012 London Olympics, switched international allegiance.

Equatorial Guinea tried to persuade him to play for them in the 2012 Nations Cup finals they co-hosted with Gabon but he turned them down. Made his international debut in 2013 and scored a hat-trick not long after, in a World Cup qualifier against Cape Verde Islands.

Moved to English second tier side Middlesbrough in July.
