Luis Jan Piers Advíncula Castrillón[2] (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlwis aðˈβiŋkula]; born 2 March 1990) is a Peruvian professional footballer who plays for Rayo Vallecano on loan from Tigres UANL and the Peru national team as a right-back.

A quick and offensive right-back, he can play as a right winger. Advíncula recorded a top speed of 36.15 km/h during a game against Chivas in Mexico.

Biography

Advíncula started in the lower divisions of Juan Aurich and made his professional debut for the club in 2009. He was transferred in January 2010 to Sporting Cristal, in an effort not only to play international trophies at club level, but also with the intention to earn a spot in the upcoming payrolls.

On 25 January 2011, an article said that Advíncula could go to the Universidad de Chile of the First Division, not on the recommendation of then Peru national team coach Sergio Markarian. On 17 April 2012, the Houston Dynamo from the United States submitted a bid for Advíncula, but the deal fell apart at the last minute. On 19 July 2012, his move to SC Tavriya Simferopol from Ukraine was confirmed, but he returned to Sporting Cristal after only one month because the club did not meet the quota for Advíncula.

On 5 January 2013, Advíncula signed a four-year contract with German club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim of the Bundesliga. On 19 August 2014, he joined Vitória Setúbal on a 1-year loan.[3]

On 11 March 2018, Advíncula was pronounced the fastest player in the world. He was clocked at 36.15 Km/h against Chivas, breaking Gareth Bale’s previous record of 35.7 Km/h. On 29 July, Advíncula returned to Europe, this time to La Liga's Rayo Vallecano on loan for one year.[4]

National team

Advíncula has been capped for the U-20 Peruvian national team where he played in the South American U-20 in 2009.[5] His senior team debut was on 4 September 2010, in a friendly against Canada. His second match was against Jamaica in another friendly match on 7 September of that same year. He was also summoned by coach Sergio Markarian to play the Copa America 2011 in Argentina. Advíncula also took part in the starting eleven in the second leg of the intercontinental play-off against New Zealand on 15 November 2017. He played a crucial part in the outcome of the 2-0 victory over New Zealand, helping Peru qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Peru's first World Cup since 1982. In May 2018 he was named in Peru’s provisional 24 man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.[6]
