Celta Vigo's forward Iago Aspas, pictured in March 2017, has scored 21 goals this season to help Celta reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League

Spanish international Iago Aspas tied his future to Celta Vigo by extending his contract to 2022, the club said on Tuesday.

"Unbeatable news for Celta and their fans," the club said in a statement. "Aspas will play in light blue until 2022."

"Both the club and I wanted to close the renewal and today we managed to do it," said Aspas.

Aspas, 29, has scored 21 goals this season to help Celta reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where they will face Belgian side Genk.

The former Liverpool striker's form has also seen him earn his first international honours this season with three caps, including a goal against England on his debut.
