Luis Alberto Romero Alconchel (born 28 September 1992) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Premier League club Liverpool as a forward or winger.
Sevilla
A product of Sevilla FC, Luis Alberto was born in San José del Valle, Cádiz, and he spent his first two seasons as a senior with the-B team in Segunda División B, scoring 15 goals in his second. On 16 April 2011 he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut for the Andalusians, replacing another club youth graduate, Rodri, in the second half of a 0–1 away loss against Getafe CF.
In August 2012 Luis Alberto was loaned to FC Barcelona B in a one-year deal, with the Catalans having the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season. He made his official debut on 2 September, playing two minutes in a 2–0 home win over CE Sabadell FC and finished the campaign as second top scorer in the squad, only behind Gerard Deulofeu.
Liverpool
On 20 June 2013, Sevilla received a £6.8 million offer from Premier League club Liverpool for Alberto, which was accepted. The signing was successfully completed two days later, subject to international clearance.
