Arturo Rodríguez Cosano (born 5 August 2006) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays mainly a right winger for UD Las Palmas.

Club career

Born in Mataró, Barcelona, Catalonia, Rodríguez began his career with hometown side Juventus AC Mataró at the age of five. After playing for UD Cirera, he moved to Girona FC, but had loans back to Cirera and CE Mataró before signing for CF Damm.[1]

Rodríguez moved to the youth sides of UD Las Palmas in 2023, initially for the Juvenil B squad.[2] During the 2024–25 season, he scored 19 goals for the Juvenil A squad.[3]

On 24 May 2025, before even having appeared for the reserves, Rodríguez made his first team – and La Liga – debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Dário Essugo in a 2–0 away loss to RCD Espanyol, as the club was already relegated.[4][5] Two days later, he renewed his contract with the club, being promoted to the B-side.[6]

International career

On 12 January 2025, Rodríguez was called up to the Spain national under-19 team for a friendly against Italy.[7] He made his debut three days later, scoring the winner in the 1–0 success.[8]
