Club career

Early career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Miquel spent five years at La Masia academy before being released. [2] Miquel transferred to UE Cornellà but it was not long before Miquel was playing for the club's reserve team, leading to a call-up to the Spain under-16's. A series of outstanding performances for the Spanish Youth side caught the eye of some of the world's biggest clubs. Manchester United and Valencia CF both faxed trial offers, showing how his stock had risen in just a few months. [3] [4]

Arsenal

Miquel joined the club just after his 16th birthday, [5] making his debut in the Zinedine Zidane Tournament held in Cannes. [6] Miquel made 12 appearances for the reserves in the 2009–10 season, becoming reserve team captain. He was selected as part of the first team squad for Cup games against Ipswich Town and Leeds United in January 2011 [7] but did not feature in either game.

On 20 February 2011, prior to Arsenal's FA Cup fifth-round match against Leyton Orient, it was announced that he would be starting his first competitive match for the club. [8] He played the full 90 minutes as Arsenal drew with Leyton Orient 1–1. [9] On 2 March, Miquel played the full 90 minutes as Arsenal beat Leyton Orient 5–0 in the FA Cup replay at the Emirates. [10] He only made two appearances later in the 2010–11 season.

At the start of the 2011–12 season, Miquel enjoyed a season to remember in the first team after being called into action in both the Premier League and Champions League. [11] Miquel made his Premier League debut against Liverpool on 20 August 2011, coming on for the injured Laurent Koscielny in the 16th minute as Arsenal lost 2–0. Liverpool's first goal occurred when Miquel's clearance hit Aaron Ramsey's chest, resulting in an own goal. [12] Miquel made his second appearance of the season and his debut in the Football League Cup in the 3–1 win against Shrewsbury Town. [13] Miquel would go on to play every minute of Arsenal's 2011–12 League Cup campaign as they reached the fifth round before being knocked out by Manchester City. [14] On 6 December 2011, Miquel made his UEFA Champions League debut for Arsenal in the 3–1 away defeat to Olympiacos, coming on for André Santos in the 51st minute. [15] On 9 January 2012, Miquel made his first FA Cup appearance of the season, starting at left-back as Arsenal beat Leeds United 1–0 in the third round. [16] On 15 January 2012, Miquel made his first Premier League start in the 3–2 defeat to Swansea City, playing the full 90 minutes at left-back. [17] At the end of the 2011–12 season, he made nine appearances in all competitions.

In the 2012–13 season, Miquel made his first start of the season and scored his first career goal in the 6–1 victory over Coventry City in the League Cup. Miquel headed home an Andrei Arshavin cross from close range. [18] His second appearance then came on 30 October 2012, where he started and played 105 minutes before substituted at extra–time, in a 7–5 win over Reading in the Last 16 of the League Cup. [19] Miquel made his first Premier League appearance of the season in the 1–0 away victory over Sunderland, replacing Theo Walcott as a substitute in the 88th minute. [20] After this, Miquel returned to the development squad for the rest of the season and captained the side in number of occasions. [21] At the end of the 2012–13 season, he went on to make a total of 3 appearances.

Loan to Leicester City

On 9 August 2013, Miquel joined Championship side Leicester City on loan until the end of the 2013–14 season. [22]

Miquel made his debut for The Foxes on 27 August 2013 in the 5–2 away win over Carlisle United in the second-round of the League Cup. [23] Miquel scored his first goal for the club against Fulham on 30 October 2013, in the League Cup, helping his side progress into the quarter-finals (with a 4–3 win). [24] After the match, Miquel spoke out about the match, saying: "It's an unbelievable feeling. After we scored the third goal I think we just switched off and got punished, but I think in the end the important thing was that we got the result." [25] However, Miquel struggled to regain his first team place at Leicester City, due to Wes Morgan and Liam Moore preferred in the central–backs. [26] Despite being absent for most of the season, he helped the side reach the promotion to the Premier League, making 12 appearances and scoring once for the side in all competitions. [27]

Norwich City

Miquel joined Championship club Norwich City, a few hours before the close of the 2014 summer transfer window on a three-year deal with an option of a further 12 months. [28]

Miquel made his debut on 23 September, starting in a 0–1 loss to League Two team Shrewsbury Town in the third round of the League Cup. [29] His only other appearance of the season came on 3 January 2015 in the third round of the FA Cup, a 0–2 defeat at League One Preston North End. [30] However, throughout the 2014–15 season, he struggled to regain his first team place at Norwich City, due to high competitions in the defense, which resulted in him at the substitute bench. [31] Because of this, he was demoted to play in the club's development in number of matches. [32] At one point, he was expected to be loaned out to Millwall but the move never went ahead. [33] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Miquel made two appearances for the side.

[36] In a follow-up match in a 1–0 loss against RCD Mallorca, Miquel was at fault when he gave away a penalty, resulting in Manuel Arana successfully converting the penalty. [37] Despite this, Miquel continued to establish himself in the Ponferradina's defence. [38] However, Miquel was sent–off for abusing a referee on 9 April 2016 against CD Mirandés, in a 4–0 loss; in which he served a four–match suspension. [39] Despite being on the sidelines it resulted in Ponferradina being relegated, [40] Miquel finished his first season at the club making the total of 27 appearances in all competitions. Shortly after the end of the season, he was released by the club. [41]

[44] Since making his CD Lugo debut, he established himself in the starting eleven for the side. [45] He started in every match since the opening game of the season until he suffered an injury in late–October. [46] His return from injury was short–lived when he was suspended on two occasions. [47] He then scored again on 10 February 2017, in a 1–1 draw against Sevilla Atlético. [48] After spending time on the substitute bench towards the end of the 2016–17 season following an injury, [49] Miquel later regained his first team place and finished his first season, making 33 appearances and scoring 2 times in all competitions.

At the start of the 2017–18 season, Miquel missed one match, due to suspension. [50] He then made his first appearance of the season on 27 August 2017, starting the whole game, in a 2–0 loss against Sporting de Gijón.

[53] By the time of his departure, Miquel played 16 times and scored once in his second season. [54]
