Football career
Born in Bata, Litoral Province, Pepín has started his youth career for La Floresta, in Tarragona, Spain. In the middle of 2004, he joined FC Barcelona's youth setup[1][2] and he remained there the next four seasons,[3] coming back to La Floresta for one year. After a stint in Cambrils,[4] Pepín signed for Gimnàstic de Tarragona, where he has relaunched his career as a young prospect. Two years later, in 2012, he and Aitor Embela, his teammate for Equatorial Guinea U16, were signed for Málaga CF.
On 2 November 2014, Pepín made his senior debut with the reserves, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win against Villacarrillo CF for the Tercera División championship.
In late January 2015, Pepín was transferred to A.S. Roma, being incorporated to the Primavera side. He played friendly matches with the first team in the middle of 2015 and was an unused substitute in several 2015–16 Serie A matches.
