\u201cI\u2019m really, really happy. I'm so proud to be here. I'm so happy to be here and to play for Fulham. The Club is a historical club and Craven Cottage is an historical stadium. I prefer Fulham because of the city, the Club, obviously the historical stadium, and I want to play in the Premier League,\u201d said Cuenca to FFTV.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Born in Madrid, Cuenca came through the youth ranks at local side Alcorc\u00f3n, where he became their youngest-ever player before moving to Barcelona at the age of just 17. After featuring regularly for the club\u2019s B team, he was handed his first senior start in a 1-0 Copa del Rey victory in October 2018.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A multi-million euro move to Villarreal followed two years later, though he went straight on loan to Almeria, whom he helped reach the Segunda Divisi\u00f3n Play-offs and Copa del Rey Quarterfinals, where they were narrowly beaten by Sevilla. After three goals in 37 appearances for Almeria, Cuenca was a La Liga regular the following term, playing 32 times while on loan with Getafe to help them preserve their top-flight status.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI'm happy to welcome centre-back Jorge Cuenca to Fulham! He's a talented young player, we expect that he'll continue to develop under Marco's great coaching, and believe that he'll be a great asset to the squad! Come on Fulham!,\u201d added the Club\u2019s director of football, Tony Khan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After impressing away from home, Cuenca was integrated into the Villarreal setup in 2022\/23, playing every minute of their UEFA Europa Conference League campaign which saw them progress to the knockout stages. But it was last season when he became a mainstay in the Villarreal backline, missing just a handful of games as they finished eighth in La Liga and reached the Europa League knockouts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
