Luis Helguera, sports director of UD Las Palmas, began José Campaña's presentation, stating: "He is a player who fits perfectly into our style of play. He gives us a quality boost, which is what we wanted. We are very happy; he made an effort to come and understood our project."

For his part, the new yellow player pointed out, "I stayed completely out of the negotiation; I come from a long injury, and I was only thinking about getting fit. Physically, I feel good, gradually adapting to the workload they are giving me."

"Las Palmas is a club that I can easily adapt to because of the style of play. I have a long career, I have been through different leagues and many clubs, and my last stage was seven and a half years at Levante, which makes you mature and gain experience," he added.

Regarding the team: "I am not surprised by the quality of the squad; they have been performing at a high level for several seasons. We won't discover anything new. They have a great coach and a great group; more than the position they are in, what helped me decide is the playing style."
