Jaime Ivan Kaviedes Llorenty is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays as a forward for LDU Quito in the Ecuadorian Football League. He is one of the leading players in Ecuadorian football, and was only one of the few footballers from Ecuador to play for a professional football team in Europe. However, due to grand performances from the national team, there are many Ecuadorians in several important clubs in Europe and around the world.
Kaviedes is known as a striker with wonderful touch, great vision, passing range and a keen eye for goal. Although not particularly strong in the air, Kaviedes has scored spectacular overhead goals in his career. One remembered well even to this day was the bicycle shot he did with his back turned against FC Barcelona while playing for Real Valladolid. This goal was voted as the goal of the year.
Kaviedes rose to fame after scoring 43 goals in one season for Club Sport Emelec in the Ecuadorian league. This led to a move to A.C. Perugia in the Italian Serie A. Kaviedes was unsuccessful there, however, and has since journeyed around a number of clubs in Europe, Mexico, and South America, even returning to his homeland.
