Jéfferson Agustín Farfán Guadalupe or also known as "La Foquita" (born October 26, 1984 in Lima) is a Peruvian football player, playing for Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.

Profile

Farfán began his professional career with Alianza Lima of Peru, with whom he signed for in 2001. Although he made some appearances at first-team in 2001, Farfán only began to break through in 2002, becoming an impact player and helping Alianza win the Peruvian championship.

In his final season with the club in 2004, Farfán scored 14 goals, helping the club to another Peruvian championship. Following that season he was purchased by Dutch club PSV Eindhoven after being scouted by Piet de Visser, for a reported 2 million Euro transfer fee.

Farfán is currently an important player for the Peru national team. Since making his debut for the side in February 2003, he has already gained more than 30 caps. He has also contributed vital goals for PSV both domestically as well as in the UEFA Champions League which saw PSV enjoying a fine run to the semi-finals in the 2004–2005 season.

Jefferson Farfán ended the South American 2006 World Cup qualifiers as the second top scorer, with seven goals.

He was suspended for 18 months from representing the national soccer team of Peru.

On June 5, 2008, it was reported that PSV had reached an agreement with German side FC Schalke 04 over the transfer of Farfán for around 10 million.
