Luis Suárez

Luis Suárez of Sporting CP was born in Santa Marta, Colombia on 2 December 1997 (age 28).

Luis Suárez (born 2 December 1997, age 28) is a Colombian striker with Sporting CP, where he wears the number 97 shirt. His profile is a straightforward one: a penalty-box forward judged mainly by output, not by decorative extras.

His most productive league season came in 2025-26, when he scored 28 goals in 32 appearances for Sporting. He has carried that form into 2026-27, with six goals in seven Liga Portugal appearances and another goal from one Champions League outing, leaving him on seven goals in eight club matches across all competitions.

Suárez has also been involved with Colombia this season, making five World Cup appearances and one in South American World Cup qualifying, where he scored four times. At club level, his recent work has been plain enough: regular goals for Sporting, with little need to dress it up.
