Career

No transfer history

Arriving at Genk in January, this 22-year-old Ecuadorian has quickly established himself as a reliable Bronze-tier utility player. Finding his footing in European football takes time, but he is steadily building his body of work and proving his adaptability across the pitch.

Eleven appearances and 585 minutes of action tell the story of a versatile contributor finding his role. While he is going through a quiet spell in the final third, his underlying physical metrics command attention. A strong Workrate forms the foundation of his game, allowing him to cover ground relentlessly. This engine fuels his defensive output, certified by an impressive INTERCEPTOR badge. He reads the game brilliantly, breaking up opposition attacks and stealing possession when his team needs to reset the tempo.

The market clearly believes in his trajectory. With a valuation pushing €4M and climbing, the stakes are high for his continued development. Once he fully adapts to the pace of his new league, that underlying defensive intelligence could make him a vital asset.
