Kepa Blanco González, Kepa or Kepa Blanco (born January 13, 1984 in Marbella, Málaga), is a Spanish footballer. He currently plays striker for Getafe CF. Brought up through the ranks of Sevilla FC, Kepa played two matches with the first team in 2004-05, and established himself as an important offensive player in the following two years. In 2006-07, even after having scored a hat trick against Levante UD in the league opener and another 3 in the victorious UEFA Cup campaign, he fell out of favour and, on January 22, 2007, agreed a loan move to West Ham United in the Premiership until the end of the season, with the option of a permanent move available.[1] On his debut for West Ham, he scored a 77th minute goal after only being on for 70 seconds with his first touch of the game against Liverpool, on 30 January 2007[2]. In July 2007, he agreed a four-year deal with La Liga's Getafe CF, with Sevilla retaining the option of repurchasing the striker the next season or the one after that.[3]During the season, he appeared sparingly for the UEFA Cup quarterfinalists.
