Career & Clubs

Club career

Izquierdo started playing football at an early age, starting out as a goalkeeper before moving outfield into a midfield and winger position. His parents initially wanted him to become a tennis player, however Izquierdo "constantly preferred to kick tennis balls with his feet rather than use rackets, and his teacher promptly advised him to switch to his natural sport". Izquierdo would subsequently abandon football for several years following his brother's death in a traffic accident, before eventually returning to join Deportivo Pereira. Izquierdo joined Once Caldas in 2013 from Deportivo Pereira, and moved to Club Brugge one year later.

Izquierdo started in both legs of the quarter-final. Izquierdo won the Belgian Pro League with Club Brugge in the 2015–16 season, finishing top of the table in the regular season and winning the Championship play-offs with the club. He contributed 7 league goals in 24 Pro League appearances, and also made several appearances in Brugge's UEFA Europa League campaign. He was also the winner of the Belgian Golden Shoe award for 2016 in recognition of his performances throughout…
