Emilio Nsue López (born 30 September 1989 in Palma, Majorca, Balearic Islands) is a Spanish footballer who plays for RCD Mallorca mainly as a forward.

Club career

A RCD Mallorca youth graduate, Nsue made his professional debuts for the club on 3 February 2008, playing injury time in a 1–1 draw at Villarreal CF—he added five more minutes in the following week, a 0–0 home game against UD Almería.

In 2008–09, Nsue was loaned to CD Castellón, in the second division. Regularly used in a comfortable campaign, he netted twice in a home game against Levante UD, on 18 October 2008 (4–1).

On 17 July 2009, Nsue was loaned to Real Sociedad, on a season-long move. Although rarely a starter, he was an important offensive unit, as the Basque returned to La Liga after a three-year absence.

Nsue returned to Mallorca for 2010–11, and started the season in the starting XI, the first match being a 0–0 home draw against Real Madrid. On 3 October 2010, he scored his first official goal for the club, heading in from a corner at FC Barcelona, in an eventual 1–1 draw. He appeared in all 38 league games and netted four times, with the Balearic Islands side narrowly avoiding relegation.

International career

From an Equatoguinean father, Nsue rejected an offer to represent the Equatorial Guinea national team. In 2009, after having appeared for Spain at various youth levels, he started playing with its U21s.
