Enrique Esqueda, famously known as ‘Paleta’ in his home country, has won Under-17 World Cup with his country in 2005.

He started his professional career with Club America in the same year. For the next six years, he played more than 100 matches for his club and scored 13 goals.

He also played nine matches with his club, scoring a goal.

The Mexican forward is definitely one of the most famous signings this year. He is the second Mexican in the league to play in this edition after David Izazola. Talking with media in his country, Izazola expressed his desire to play against Esqueda.

He is famously known for his heroics in World Football Challenge in 2009. He scored in his club’s famous 2-1 win against AC Milan. In 2011, he scored against Manchester City in 1-1 draw and Real Madrid in a 2-3 loss.

He is not very familiar with Indian football but going by his videos in YouTube, he is a potent striker who possesses brilliant skills, along with excellent shooting and heading ability.
