Ecuador FC: Brighton look to add fourth Ecuadorian with MLS talent

The Los Angeles FC midfielder, who has also been a target of Leeds United, is now being monitored by Albion – according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The 23-year-old midfielder has contributed 7 goals and 6 assists in 24 MLS appearances in 2022.

He made his international debut in 2019 against Peru and has gone on to win 6 caps for his country.

If Cifuentes was to join Graham Potter’s side – he would be linking up with fellow countrymen Pervis Estupiñán.
