The 17-year-old Ecuadorian has established himself as his country’s hottest prospect with a brilliant display during the 2019 South American U-17 Championship.
Mina was the top scorer of the tournament held in Peru despite being a midfielder, with six goals, and he also had two assists. The Ecuadorians finished fourth.
He started the tournament as a sub but quickly established himself as the main star of the team, memorably scoring a hat-trick against Chile in a 3-2 win over the eventual runners-up.
