The Mexico international came through Barcelona’s U.S. academy before joining Major League Soccer (MLS) side LA Galaxy in 2018.
He joined Barcelona in the summer of 2023 before completing a loan move to Las Palmas, making 28 appearances for the La Liga club in 2023-24.
He made his senior international debut for Mexico in 2021, and has made 13 appearances for his country since then, although he missed the 2024 Copa America due to a hamstring injury.
Andoni Iraola’s side begin the new Premier League campaign against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
They will be without their top goalscorer from last term, Dominic Solanke, who has joined Tottenham Hotspur after five years at the south coast club.
