Pedro Tanausú Domínguez Placeres (born 20 September 1990), commonly known as Tana, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UD Las Palmas as a winger or forward.

Football career

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Tana made his senior debut with lowly UD Villa de Santa Brígida, in the 2009–10 season.[1][2] Two years later he first arrived in Segunda División B, playing for UD Vecindario.

In January 2012, Tana signed with UD Las Palmas, being initially assigned to the third team.[3] He was promoted to the reserves the following year, with whom he reached promotion to the third level at the end of 2012–13 campaign.

In August 2013, Tana was promoted to the main squad in Segunda División,[4] and made his debut as a professional late in that month by coming on as a 59th-minute substitute for Jesús Tato in a 1–1 home draw against SD Eibar.[5] He scored his first goal in the competition on 5 October, netting in a 2–0 home win over Córdoba CF.[6]

Tana contributed with only one league appearance during 2014–15, as the Amarillos achieved promotion to La Liga. His maiden appearance in the Spanish top flight occurred on 25 October 2015, as he started in a 0–0 home draw against Villarreal CF.[7]

A starter under new manager Quique Setién, Tana signed a new three-year deal with Las Palmas on 25 November 2015.[8] He scored his first goal in the top tier on 30 December, netting the first goal in a 4–1 home routing of Granada CF.[9]

On 7 April 2016, Tana renewed with Las Palmas until 2019.[10]
