Sebastián Eduardo Leto Lées (born 30 August 1986 in Alejandro Korn, Buenos Aires) is an Argentine footballer who currently plays on the left wing and center forward for Panathinaikos.

Club career

Lanús

Leto began his career with Buenos Aires club Lanús, making his first team debut on 25 June 2005. He spent three seasons at the club, making 52 appearances and scoring 8 goals.[1]

Liverpool

On 10 August 2007, Leto signed for Liverpool for £1,850,000 ($3.6million).[2][3] He made his debut for the Merseyside club in a friendly against Shanghai Shenhua on 3 August 2007[4] His competitive debut shortly followed in a 4–0 victory, against French side Toulouse FC, in a UEFA Champions League qualifying round fixture on 28 August 2007.[5]

Following this he featured in another Champions League game and two Football League Cup matches. He never made his Premier League debut due to problems with his passport,[6] forcing him to play in the Liverpool reserve team instead.[7] Leto was granted an Italian passport in mid-2007 but this was later revoked, making the Argentine need to apply for a work permit; a request which was later refused. Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez criticised the decision given the player's track record in the Champions League and national selection for the Olympics.[8]

Olympiacos

Leto joined the Greek team Olympiacos in June 2008 on a one-year loan deal.[9][10]

On 16 September 2008, Leto scored the second goal in the 2–0 UEFA Cup 1st round, 1st leg victory away against FC Nordsjælland. He scored his first and only league goal in a 2–1 home win against Thrassyvoulos in December 2008.

Panathinaikos

On 23 June 2009, Liverpool accepted an offer from Panathinaikos believed to be in the region of £5,000,000. On 1 July 2009, the player signed a 5 year contract for about 1.2 million (with bonus fees).[11] On July 28, Leto made his debut appearance for the greens on the away UEFA Champions League qualifying stages game against Sparta Prague, coming from the bench on the second half. On August 8 in Athens, Panathinaikos needed a two goal margin victory and Leto was one of the starting eleven for the Greek side who dominated the game 3–0 and qualified to the next round. On August 19, Leto came from the bench to score in Panathinaikos 2–3 defeat to Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Champions League play-off first leg.[12] On the 22nd of August Leto scored two goals against the Cretan side Ergotelis away in a 3–0 victory.[13] On the 13th of September, Leto scored the only goal against the Thracians Panthrakikos in an important 1–0 away victory. On 24 April 2010 he scored the victorious goal of Panathinaikos at the Greek Cup final against Aris Thessaloniki. The previous week he also won the Greek championship, thus achieving the double (second consequent double of his career, after the first one with Olympiacos in 2009). After the departure of captain Djibril Cisse and vice-captain Gilberto Silva he was chosen after two seasons serving the club to be the 3rd Captain.

2011-12

Leto started the 2011–12 Superleague Greece in commanding form, netting a brace in a 3-2 victory over Xanthi on 16 October.[14] He followed this up by notching another brace against Ergotelis on 22 October, in which Panathinaikos ran out 4-0 winners.[15] Leto's good perfromances were enough for Serie B table-toppers Torino F.C. to report interest in the Argentine, as they look to regain status in the Italian top flight.[16]

On 30 October, Panathinaikos faced PAOK, Leto grabbed a goal as his side won 3-1 and maintained their lead at the top of the Greek first division.[17] In the following game against Ergotelis, Leto added two more goals as his side won 4-0.[18] Leto's inspired start to the sesaon resulted with ten goals and one assist from the first seven games.[19] His performances were enough to guide Panathinaikos to the top of the table on 19 points, having played fewer games than most of their title challengers.[20] Leto continued in brilliant form scoring 15 goals in 13 matches as well as 3 assists, keeping Panathinaikos still in the fight for the title.
