The transfer window brought a notable addition to Alcoyano this winter as Dani Selma joined the club from Tenerife on a loan that runs through the end of the season. Selma, who began his professional journey in San Fernando, had his latest career move approved on Monday, January 15, and now wears the Alcoyano shirt while continuing his development in the competitive environment of the Can Misses campaign that awaits him. His arrival marks the fifth winter signing for the team as they press forward in a demanding campaign.
Selma accumulated a total of 471 minutes across his appearances so far this season with Deportivo, contributing five goals during his stints on loan. The goals came against Córdoba, Mérida, and Atlético Baleares, underscoring his ability to impact matches and provide a forward threat. The Valencian forward had previously faced Deportivo’s upcoming rivals, including Vicente Parras’s squad, and had featured in a recent clash at the Iberoamericano Stadium where only the opening half was played during the December encounter. The move to Alcoyano was the result of mediation led by Tenerife, which owns the player’s rights, and aligns with Tenerife’s strategic considerations for Selma’s development and exposure.
Selma’s transfer was officially confirmed by Tenerife, who renewed the attacker through June 2026 after a strong season with the Chicharrero reserve team. He had already shown potential by scoring eight goals in the reserve side and earning his first team opportunity under coach Luis Miguel Ramis. His LaLiga Hypermotion debut came against Villarreal B, followed by a further four appearances in the second division, highlighting his growing profile and potential impact at Alcoyano.
Alcoyano keeps building the attack
Selma arrives as part of a broader offensive reinforcement plan that already includes the addition of Rafa de Palmas, an attacking midfielder, and the center forward Jean-Paul D’joli. The club also welcomed back winger Javi Anton from Castellón, while Kike Carrasco remained an active option in the attacking lineup. The squad’s new signings position Alcoyano well as they prepare for the upcoming fixture against Can Misses next Sunday. The signing quartet strengthens the club’s forward options and offers versatile tactical variations as the season progresses. The collective effort aims to ensure the team keeps pushing for positive results in a competitive division, with Selma contributing his speed, movement, and goal threat to the frontline.
