Albion fans were urged to take a look at Moises Caicedo in the Copa America tonight.
But a hugely promising first half for the Ecuador midfielder turned into a night of frustration.
Caicedo shone in the first half as Ecuador took a 2-0 lead over Peru in Goiania, Brazil.
But early goals in the second half salvaged a 2-2 draw for Peru, who could have won the match on the break.
The result is a better one for Peru than for Ecuador, who have just two points from three games and have still to meet Brazil.
South American football expert Tim Vickery told Albion fans via Twitter they might like to follow the game and keep an eye on Caicedo.
He was impressive in the first half and an astute pass led to the opener, which was an own goal.

Gianluca Lapadula, reportedly a transfer target for Albion back in 2017 as they prepared for life in the Premier League, scored Peru’s first goal and teed up their second.
