Iago Falque Silva (Galician pronunciation: [ˈjaɣo ˈfalke]; born 4 January 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Italian club Torino.
Born in Vigo, Galicia, Falque began his career with Real Madrid before moving to Barcelona in 2001. After several years in the club's youth ranks, he was never aggregated either to the first team of Frank Rijkaard nor B side of Luis Enrique. On 30 August 2008, Falque signed a four-year contract with Juventus, and was officially presented on 2 September 2008. He transferred to the Serie A club on a free deal which included compensation to Barcelona up to €2.5 million if certain matches and goals were reached by the player in his stay with the club. On 6 December 2008, he received his first call-up to the club's first team in a match against Lecce, on the 15th matchday of the 2008–09 Serie A season.
On 25 August 2009, Falque was transferred on loan to Bari, then newly promoted to Serie A. After playing the first half of the season with the Primavera formation, he returned to Juventus on 15 January 2010 without ever debuting for Bari's first team.
On 29 July 2010, Falque joined Villarreal B on loan with the right of redemption. He maintained a starting position for the club, making 36 appearances and scoring 11 goals. Villarreal opted not to activate their redemption clause and so, on 30 June 2011, Falque returned to Juventus.
On 25 August 2011, Falque joined Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan deal, with an option to make the move permanent. He was first named in a matchday squad on 10 September, remaining unused in a 2–0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, and made his debut five days later by starting in a goalless away draw against PAOK for the season's UEFA Europa League.
