On long-term scout potential he's rated 16.4, ranking 435th of 452 in the Segunda División. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (44.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.29 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Peña.

Judged on this season alone, Peña graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 88 of the 88 full-backs in the Segunda División, on 6 clean sheets and 3.286 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 85th of 88 of the 88 full-backs in the Segunda División. At 35 Peña is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 22) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.4, Peña carries the 85th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Segunda División of 88, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leganes finished 16th of 22) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
