Felix Eduardo Torres Caicedo (born 11 January 1997) is an Ecuadorian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A club Corinthians and the Ecuador national team.[2][3]

After beginning his career with LDU Portoviejo, Torres signed for Barcelona in 2017 before joining Santos Laguna in 2019.

Club career

[edit]

Torres began his career with LDU Portoviejo before signing for Ecuadorian Serie A side Barcelona in December 2016, on an initial one-year loan deal.[4] He made his debut for the side in a 2–1 victory over Macará on 2 July and scored his first goal in a win over Guayaquil City F.C. on 5 November.[2] Two weeks later, Torres joined the club permanently in November 2017 having made six appearances during his loan spell, signing a six-year contract.[5]

In January 2019 Torres transferred over to Mexican club Santos Laguna,[6] following his former Barcelona coach Guillermo Almada who had taken charge of the side.[7] In October 2019 Torres was punished for indiscipline by the club and as of November 2019 has not played since.[8][9]

International career

After playing for Ecuador at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup Torres was called up for the national team in February 2017 but did not play.[10]

Torres was named in the Ecuadorian squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, playing in all three of his nation's matches as they were eliminated in the group stage.[2]
