Nilson Angulo is a left-sided midfielder or winger who developed at LDU de Quito before Anderlecht brought him to Belgium, where he spent two seasons in the Pro League. His 2025 move to Sunderland in the Championship — a club with serious promotion ambitions — reflects confidence in his ability to perform in a physically demanding English environment. Angulo's directness, pace, and willingness to take on defenders make him a natural wide option for Ecuador, offering an alternative to Gonzalo Plata on the left flank. Still only 23, his best football is likely ahead of him.
