This midfielder played in England in 2014 but wasn't considered a success back then, he did however move to a country outside of Europe in 2016 and has recently signed in Spain where he doing much better.

Paulihno?

Well damn, its isn't because I didn't try to be vague with my hint this time. Yeah, you got it. Here your reward rai:

That was a hard one to be honest, had no idea until I saw the comment

I kinda just based it off the recently moved to Spain and is doing better. Pau fit the rest of the criteria.

I prefer tough ones where.you gotta give a few more hints

Will try to make harder in the future for sure. :P Also will propably chose a player who doesn't play for one of the biggest team out there.
