Template:Spanish name 2 David López Silva (born 9 October 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Italian club S.S.C. Napoli as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

Espanyol

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, López finished his formation with local RCD Espanyol, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2008–09 season, in Tercera División. In August 2009 he was loaned to Terrassa FC in Segunda División B,[1] being a regular starter but suffering team relegation.

López returned to Espanyol in June 2010, and made his main squad – and La Liga – debut on 26 September, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 home win against CA Osasuna.[2] He continued to appear more regularly with the B-side, however.

On 11 August 2011, López was loaned to CD Leganés in the third level.[3] A year later, he joined Segunda División club SD Huesca in the same predicament.[4]

On 16 June 2013, López returned to Espanyol after the Pericos exercised the buyback option on his contract.[5] He scored his first goal in the top flight on 24 August, netting his team's first in a 3–1 home success over Valencia CF.[6]

Napoli

On 31 August 2014, S.S.C. Napoli confirmed López' signing on a five-year contract.[7] He made his Serie A debut on 21 September, playing the full 90 minutes and being booked in a 0–1 defeat at Udinese Calcio.[8]

López scored his first competitive goal for the Italians (from 39 appearances) on 7 May 2015, putting his team ahead in an eventual 1–1 home draw against FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk for the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League.[9]
