Early career
Born in Nules, Castellón, Valencian Community, Canós began his career in the youth system at hometown club Nules, before rejecting attention from Valencia, Villareal and Atlético Madrid to join Barcelona's La Masia academy in 2010. Able to play as a winger or forward, he left the club in 2013.
Liverpool
Canós moved to England to sign for Premier League team Liverpool at the age of 16 in 2013. After receiving international clearance in November 2013, he progressed through the U18 team during the 2013–14 season to make his debut for the club's reserves in August 2014. Canós appeared in every match of Liverpool's 2014–15 UEFA Youth League campaign, scoring one goal. He spent the majority of the 2015–16 season away on loan, but returned to Anfield in time to be included in Jürgen Klopp's squad for the final day of the Premier League season versus West Bromwich Albion. He made what would prove to be his only senior appearance for Liverpool as a late substitute for Sheyi Ojo in the 1–1 draw. Canós departed the club on 12 July 2016.
Brentford (loan)
On 31 August 2015, Canós joined Championship side Brentford on a loan which was later extended until the end of the 2015–16 season. He made the first senior appearance of his career as a late substitute for Philipp Hofmann in a 1–1 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road on 12 September. He made regular substitute appearances and scored the first senior goal of his career versus Nottingham Forest on 21 November, netting within three minutes after coming on for John Swift. After the appointment of Dean Smith as manager in December, Canós broke into the starting lineup and the day after extending his loan, he scored Brentford's Goal of the Season versus Reading on 28 December. He scored four further goals during the second half of the season to finish with seven goals from 39 appearances.
Norwich City
Canós signed a four-year deal with Championship club Norwich City on 13 July 2016 for an initial £2.5 million fee, which could have risen to £4.5 million. He was largely out of favour at Carrow Road and featured mainly in cup competitions, scoring his first goals for the club with a brace in a 6–1 EFL Cup second round thrashing of Coventry City on 23 August 2016. Canós scored for the U23 team in a 5–0 EFL Trophy group stage win over Barnet on 4 October, but failed to break into the squad for league matches and left the club on 31 January 2017, having made just 9 appearances during the first half of the 2016–17 season.
Return to Brentford
On 31 January 2017, Canós rejoined Brentford on four-and-a-half year contract, with an option for a further year. The undisclosed fee (rumoured to be £2,500,000) made him the club's record signing. Canós made his second Brentford debut five days later, as a 69th-minute substitute for Florian Jozefzoon during a 3–3 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion. He scored the first goals since his return to Griffin Park with a brace in a 5–3 victory over Burton Albion on 18 March.
International career
Canós made his international debut for Spain at U15 level and was a part of the team which reached the quarter-final of the 2012 Copa de México de Naciones. He progressed to play at U16 and U17 level, making six appearances and scoring two goals during the U17s' unsuccessful qualification campaign for the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.
Canós made his U19 debut in a friendly against Italy on 20 January 2016 and appeared in two of Spain's three 2016 European U19 Championship unsuccessful elite round qualifiers three months later.
Personal life
Canós is a Valencia supporter. His family run a Spanish restaurant, Gracias, on Penny Lane in Liverpool.
