The striker, known for his time at Lokomotiv Moscow where he made a solid impact by scoring 11 goals across 52 matches between 2011 and 2013, later took his talents to AL-Jazira in 2014. Before that move, he had already begun making a name for himself on the international stage, debuting with the Ecuadorian national team back in 2005. But long before fame came knocking, the striker started his professional journey in 2006 with Basel, following a formative youth career spent with Barcelona SC and Rocafuerte. Born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, he’s not just known for his footwork on the pitch—off it, he tied the knot with Maria Garcia in 2015, marking a personal milestone in his life. Throughout his career, the striker has consistently shown resilience and skill, earning respect wherever he’s played.
He really made a name for himself as a key player for Ecuador’s national team, and it didn’t take long for his goal-scoring talent to shine. In fact, he became one of the standout performers, finding the back of the net 15 times across his first 53 appearances. His consistent performance quickly established him as a reliable force up front, and fans began to see him not just as a promising talent, but as a true asset. He showed time and again why he was so crucial to the team’s attack, and those early goals laid the foundation for what many believe will be a legendary international career. He proved, beyond doubt, that he belonged among the elite, and every time he stepped onto the pitch, he gave everything to uphold that reputation.
