Kevin Quevedo's Numbers
Kevin Quevedo's numbers this season are by far the best throughout his career. The Alianza Lima forward is not only the top scorer for the team this year, but also the top Peruvian scorer in the Liga 1 Movistar. Nowadays, his future is uncertain; whether he stays in La Victoria or makes the leap abroad.
It's very rare to see South American forwards of the same age with similar statistics as the Alianza Lima player. If we take into consideration the figures of the players who were part of the South American U-20 Championship in 2017, in which the player from Alianza Lima participated, it can be seen that nowadays Kevin Quevedo is a more than interesting player for any foreign club.

One of the top scorers of that youth tournament played in Ecuador was the Inter Milan forward, Lautaro Martinez. The Argentinean scored five goals and was the standout player for his national team, which qualified for the Corea World Cup.
On the other hand, Kevin Quevedo went almost unnoticed in that championship. He only played 24 minutes in the debut against Lautaro's Argentina. After that, Fernando Nogara didn't call him up again.
