Theo Bernard François Hernández (born 6 October 1997), known simply as Theo, is a French footballer who plays for Spanish club Deportivo Alavés on loan from Atlético Madrid as a left back.

Club career

Born in Marseille, Theo joined Atlético Madrid youth setup in 2008, aged ten.[2] After progressing through the youth categories, he was promoted to the reserves in Tercera División in the 2015 summer.

Theo made his senior debut on 30 August 2015, starting in a 4–3 away win against CD Puerta Bonita. On 3 February of the following year, he renewed his contract;[3] two days later, he was called up to the main squad for a La Liga match against SD Eibar due to injuries,[4] but remained an unused substitute in the 3–1 home win.[5]

On 4 August 2016, Theo extended his contract with the club until 2021, being immediately loaned to fellow top tier club Deportivo Alavés for one year.[6][7] He made his professional debut late in the month, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Sporting de Gijón.[8]

Personal life

Theo's father, Jean-François, was also a footballer. A central defender, he too played for Atlético Madrid.[9] His elder brother Lucas, also a defender, was also groomed at Atleti.[10]
