Club Career

Sevilla

Born in Olivares, Province of Seville, Andalusia, Cotan came through the youth ranks at local club Sevilla FC, spending his first season as a senior with the reserves in the third division. On 9 January 2013 he first appeared with the first team, against RCD Mallorca for the campaign's Copa del Rey, but did not leave the bench in the 1–2 home loss.

On 8 August 2013, one month shy of his 18th birthday, Cotan made his first official appearance with the Andalusians, playing the entire second half in a 6–1 away win over FK Mladost Podgorica in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. On 11 May of the following year, as the main squad had already secured the fifth place and manager Unai Emery was resting his starters for the Europa League final, he made his La Liga debut, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 loss at Getafe CF.
