About Iván Kaviedes
Jaime Iván Kaviedes Llorenty (Greek: Ιβάν Καβιέδες; born 24 October 1977) is an Ecuadorian former professional footballer who played as a forward. == Club career == Kaviedes rose to fame after scoring 43 goals in one season for Emelec in the 1998 Ecuadorian league. This led to a move to Perugia in the Italian Serie A in January 1999 for a transfer fee of 4 million USD (or 6 billion lire at the time). Kaviedes' stint was unsuccessful at Perugia coached by Vujadin Boškov. He only stayed there 5 months moving to Celta in the summer of 1999 and ever since then he journeyed around the world playing for a number of clubs in Europe, Mexico, and South America, even returning to his homeland. After a brief spell in Deportivo Quito, Kaviedes signed with Premier League club Crystal Palace in 2004, and became the third Ecuadorian to play in the Premier League. He arrived at the club for a reported fee of reputedly £2 million, though there was confusion over whether he was signed on loan or on a full transfer. However, Kaviedes did not fit into Crystal Palace or with manager Iain Dowie's 4–5–1 formation. He was transferred out of the club in the 2004–05 winter transfer window. After the 2006 FIFA World Cup he transferred from Argentinos Juniors in Argentina for El Nacional in his homeland, 2006 Ecuadorian League Champions.
