Leonardo Enrique Villalba (born 29 November 1994) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a winger for Greek club Lamia.[2]

Club career

Vélez Sarsfield signed Villalba in 2009.[3] His first appearance in the Primera División arrived on 11 May 2013 against Arsenal de Sarandí, with Ricardo Gareca substituting him on for the final six minutes of a 2–2 draw.[1][2] He was selected a further twenty-one times in the next three seasons in all competitions, with Villalba also netting his opening goal versus La Emilia in the Copa Argentina in April 2015.[2] In the following July, Villalba was loaned to Super League Greece side Panionios.[2] He remained for the entirety of 2015–16, making his debut in a victory over Panathinaikos in September before scoring against Panetolikos in October.[2]

After twenty-six matches in Greek football, Villalba returned to his homeland with Primera B Nacional's Douglas Haig, on loan, in July 2016.[2] Seven goals, which included a brace of Santamarina, occurred despite the club suffering relegation.[2] Ahead of 2017–18, Villalba switched Vélez Sarsfield for Flandria.[2] He made his bow in a fixture with Juventud Unida on 17 September 2017.[2] Eleven months later, in mid-2018, Villalba moved to the Primera División's Defensa y Justicia.[4][5] However, he was immediately loaned down to the second tier with Sarmiento.[2] He scored three goals in his first fifteen games for the team from Junín.[2]

International career

In 2011, Villalba won six caps for Argentina at the South American U-17 Championship in Ecuador; as his nation finished third.[2][6]
