Hirving Rodrigo Lozano Bahena (born 30 July 1995) is a Mexican footballer who plays as a winger for Liga MX club Pachuca and the Mexico national team.[2]

He is popularly referred to by his nickname Chucky.[3]

Club career

Pachuca

Hirving Lozano joined Pachuca in 2009 as part of its youth team. On 8 February 2014, Lozano made his Liga MX debut against Club América, in which he scored five minutes after his substitution in the 1–0 win at the Estadio Azteca.[4] In his debut tournament with the first team – the Clausura 2014 – Lozano finished runner-up with Pachuca, even scoring the third goal in the 3–2 first leg final win over León.[5]

Pachuca won the league title after they defeated Monterrey 2–1 on aggregate in the finals of the Clausura 2016 tournament.[6]

International career

Mexico U-20

Lozano was called up to the under-20 national team which participated in the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship. In the first game against Cuba, he scored a brace and added 4 assists in Mexico's 9–1 win, placing them first in their group. He went on to score 3 more goals and notched another assist in the tournament. He finished as the Golden Boot winner with 5 goals, tied with United States midfielder Romain Gall. Mexico went on to win the CONCACAF Under-20 Championship, the 13th title for the country, and earned a berth under-20 World Cup in New Zealand.

Mexico U-23

On 18 September 2015, Lozano was selected by coach Raúl Gutierrez to play in the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Championship, which Mexico ultimately won.[7]

On 7 July 2016, Lozano was named in Mexico's 18-man squad that would participate in the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[8]

Mexico national team

Lozano received his first senior call-up to the national team in February 2016 under coach Juan Carlos Osorio. On 10 February, Lozano earned his first cap as a starter in the friendly against Senegal, assisting fellow Pachuca teammate Rodolfo Pizarro in the second goal as Mexico won the match 2–0.[9] On 25 March 2016, Lozano scored his first international goal for Mexico in the 39th minute of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying third round match against Canada, which Mexico won 3–0.[10]

Style of play

Lozano's style of play has been described as: "Playing on the left side of a 4-2-3-1 the vast majority of the time, right-footed Lozano has all the attributes of a classic inverted winger. Possessing great power in his right foot, he's often dangerous when shooting after cutting in from the left-hand side."[11]

In 2015, Lozano was named by Don Balón as one of the best players in the world born after 1994.[12]
