An Ecuadorian Premier League star has singled out a fan after she watched him play at the Copa America group game in Las Vegas against Jamaica and went viral on X.
The 22-year-old winger took to social media after he and his teammates defeated the Reggae Boys 3-1 win, commenting on a popular video of the mystery beauty.
'Really appreciate all of the support from our fans at the @CopaAmerica,' the Spain-born winger wrote as a caption to a post with a video of the stunning fan in front of Allegiant Stadium.
The Ipswich Town loanee from Brighton and Hove Albion spent the second half of last season at the Championship club, helping the Tractor Boys achieve promotion to the Premier League.
He previously shared several clips of himself with an unidentified woman on TikTok last August, suggesting that he was in a relationship with her. However, it's unclear if the player is now single.

The player all along is no one else but Jeremy Sarmiento, who has one goal in two matches for Ecuador at the Copa America.
He scored for his country in a 2-1 loss against Venezuela on Matchday 1 of Group B action.
Ecuador has to beat Mexico in its final group stage match to qualify for the quarters.
If it draws against Mexico, Ecuador will go through to the next round as the second-placed team in the group courtesy a slightly better goal difference.
