Club career

edit

Born in Lima, Goicochea started his career with Esther Grande, staying until the club folded in 2018, before joining Alianza Lima.[2] His debut for Alianza was reportedly delayed due to interest from Brazilian clubs Grêmio and Botafogo.[3][4] He began training with the Alianza first team in October 2022, and made his debut just a week later.[5][6][7]

International career

edit

Goicochea has represented Peru at under-20 level.[1] On his eighteenth birthday, while representing Peru in a friendly against Bolivia, he and teammate Kenji Cabrera, as well as two Bolivian players, were sent off following a brawl.[8] He was left with a black eye following a punch from a Bolivian player during the brawl.[9]

Style of play

edit

Known for his physical size, speed of positioning and goal-scoring ability, Goicochea has been labelled as the "new Paolo Guerrero" by press in Peru.[3] He lists Claudio Pizarro, Gabriel Jesus and Jefferson Farfán as players he looks up to and styles his game on.[2][10]
