Why did Víctor Villote leave UD Las Palmas?

Villote detailed that the deal was finalized on the last day of the transfer window. Interest from the Tarragona-based club came through its sporting director, Tomeu Nadal.

His goal now is to establish himself at Nàstic and help the team have a great season.
