Jhojan Camilo Torres Guazá (born 12 January 2003) is a Colombian footballer who currently plays as a forward for Independiente Santa Fe.
Born in Cali, Torres began his career with grassroots club Talentos FC.[3] He went on to trial with professional side Independiente Santa Fe, impressing coach Léider Preciado and earning a place in the academy.[3]
In November 2022, having established himself in the Independiente Santa Fe first team, Torres was reportedly scouted by English sides Watford and Manchester City.[4] The following season, Independiente Santa Fe manager at the time, Harold Rivera, confirmed that both Torres and teammate Kevin Mantilla would be released to the Colombian under-20 squad ahead of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, despite being first team players.[5]
Torres was called up to the Colombian under-20 squad for the 2023 South American U-20 Championship, where his performances were praised, despite receiving a red card in a 0–0 draw with Brazil.[6]
Ahead of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, Torres stated that he was hoping to be called up to the final squad.[7]
Torres is nicknamed "Kanté" after French footballer N'Golo Kanté, as the two share a vague resemblance.[8] He has stated that he does not mind the comparison, but that there is "only one 'Kanté' and only one Jhojan Torres".[8]
