Two years later, however, he returned to his previous club, with which he made his senior debuts, appearing in two Segunda División B games in the 2007–08 season, as his team eventually suffered relegation; he was an essential first-team unit in the 2010 promotion back, then scored 10 goals in 30 games as the club retained its division status.^[1]

In late March 2011, Alfonso moved to Espanyol again - the transfer being effective as of July - initially being assigned to the B team.^[2] On 2 October 2011, he made his first-team - and La Liga - debut, playing 16 minutes in a 0–4 home loss against Real Madrid.^[3]
