Nilson Angulo, born on 19 June 2003 (age 23), is an Ecuadorian left winger now with Sunderland, where he wears the number 10 shirt. Transfermarkt puts his current market value at around £1.5m.
His senior career has been shaped far more by Anderlecht than anywhere else. Across four seasons with the Belgian club, Angulo made 55 league appearances and scored eight league goals. His best return came in 2025-26, when he scored six times in 22 league matches – a decent step from promise into something more useful.
He has since moved on to Sunderland, where his 2026-27 season has brought seven appearances in all competitions, including five in the Premier League with one goal, plus outings in the FA Cup and Europa League. At international level this season, he has also featured for Ecuador in the World Cup and South American qualifying, scoring once in four World Cup appearances.
Angulo remains a developing wide player whose career to date is still anchored in his Anderlecht spell, with Sunderland now the next test rather than the completed story.
