I hope he makes this move. I really do. He has the build, power, height, and physical attributes to play in the PL. Let's hope they beat Atletico Mineiro out of the run b/c they are the serious contenders to snatch him after Copa Libertadores is over and done with for IDV. I hope he goes to the PL and works a bit more on his speed. It will make him into a greater player than what we've already seen.
The fact that it was mentioned on espn website holds merit as I don't believe the Ecuadorian media. That being said he looks like a Stud.. if he moves to the EPL and trains hard it will benefit the national team.
