Centro hailed his 'dream debut': "Nilson Angulo burst onto the international scene with a dream debut: starting against Brazil in the South American Qualifiers.
"His performance in the draw against the five-time world champions did not go unnoticed. With precise dribbling and innate ability in one-on-one situations, the Anderlecht striker showed he is ready to make the big leap."
El Futbolero Ecuador dished out similar praise: "Nilson Angulo played a key role in Ecuador’s attack, forming part of a system that sought to create danger on the wings and take advantage of the speed of its wingers.
"During his time on the pitch, he attempted to break through on his own flank and link up with his teammates, finding space in the Brazilian defence."
Celtic have had an initial bid for the 21-year-old rejected, according to studiofutbol.com.
Angulo played 39 times for Anderlecht last season, scoring two goals and assisting three across all competitions. He joined the Belgian outfit in 2022 from LDU Quito in his homeland.
