Jhojan Camilo Torres Guazá (born 12 January 2003) is a Colombian footballer who currently plays as a forward for Independiente Santa Fe.
Club career
Born in Cali, Torres began his career with grassroots club Talentos FC. He went on to trial with professional side Independiente Santa Fe, impressing coach Léider Preciado and earning a place in the academy.
In November 2022, having established himself in the Independiente Santa Fe first team, Torres was reportedly scouted by English sides Watford and Manchester City. The following season, Independiente Santa Fe manager at the time, Harold Rivera, confirmed that both Torres and teammate Kevin Mantilla would be released to the Colombian under-20 squad ahead of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, despite being first team players.
International career
Torres was called up to the Colombian under-20 squad for the 2023 South American U-20 Championship, where his performances were praised, despite receiving a red card in a 0–0 draw with Brazil.
Ahead of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, Torres stated that he was hoping to be called up to the final squad.
Personal life
Torres is nicknamed "Kanté" after French footballer N'Golo Kanté, as the two share a vague resemblance. He has stated that he does not mind the comparison, but that there is "only one 'Kanté' and only one Jhojan Torres".
