Christian Alfonso López (born 2 May 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Alfonso signed with RCD Espanyol in 2002 at the age of 13, from neighbours CE L'Hospitalet. Two years later, he returned to his previous club and made his senior debut there, appearing in two Segunda División B games in the 2007–08 season in an eventual relegation. He was an essential player in the subsequent promotion, then scored ten goals from 30 appearances to help them to retain their status.

Alfonso moved to Espanyol again in late March 2011, alongside teammate Cristian Gómez – the deal being made effective in July – initially being assigned to the reserves. On 2 October 2011, he made his first-team (and La Liga) debut, featuring 16 minutes in a 0–4 home loss against Real Madrid.

On 15 August 2013, Alfonso joined AD Alcorcón of Segunda División, in a season-long loan deal. He scored his first professional goal on 1 September, the first in the 3–0 home win over Recreativo de Huelva.

Alfonso was loaned to Girona FC of the same league on 29 August 2014, also in a one-year deal. Roughly a year later, he terminated his contract with Espanyol.
