Kristiano Samuel Armenteros Nunez Mendoza[1] (born 27 May 1990), known as Samuel Armenteros, is a Swedish footballer of Cuban descent who plays as a striker for Portland Timbers in Major League Soccer on loan from Benevento of the Italian Serie A.

Career

Born in Masthugget, Gothenburg, Sweden, to a Cuban father and a Swedish mother, Armenteros moved to the Netherlands at age 16 to join SC Heerenveen's youth system, and made it into the first team under head coach Gertjan Verbeek. He was successively released by Heerenveen in 2009, and later chose to rejoin Verbeek at Heracles Almelo, where he showed himself as a promising striker and managed to score his first Eredivisie goals.

In September 2015, Armenteros signed a two-year contract with reigning Azerbaijan Premier League Champions FK Qarabağ.[2]

On 29 August 2016, Armenteros returned to Heracles Almelo, signing a one-year contract with the club.[3]

Benevento

On 30 August 2017, Armenteros signed a contract with Serie A team Benevento.[4] Armenteros struggled at Benevento, getting little playing time, and looked for a transfer in January 2018. Before departing for Benevento in August, he played 45 minutes for Heracles's B team while recovering from injury, meaning that he had officially played for two teams on the fall-through-spring league calendar. Under FIFA rules, he couldn't play for a third team that used that calendar, and any transfer would require going to a league that plays on a spring-to-fall calendar.[5]

Portland Timbers

In February 2018, Armenteros was loaned by Benevento to Portland Timbers of Major League Soccer.[6] He won MLS's Goal of the Week twice in a row in May 2018.[7]
