Enzo Prono (born 27 June 1991) is a retired Paraguayan footballer who last played for Alebrijes de Oaxaca, as a striker.

Career

Early career

Born in Asunción, Prono started his career with lowly Fernando de la Mora and subsequently joined Libertad, playing there until 2010.[2] After one year with Libertad he moved to Europe, and had trials with Italian and Belgian clubs.[3]

Sol de America

In 2011, Prono returned to his native country and joined Club Sol de América. He made his debut on 24 April, coming on as a late substitute in a 0–2 loss at Olimpia.[4] He scored his first professional goal on 20 August, netting his side's only of a draw at Tacuary.[5] He was an ever-present figure during the campaign, as Sol de America narrowly avoided relegation.

Olimpia

On 12 January 2013, Prono joined Club Olimpia in a one-year loan deal with a buyout clause.[6]

Arsenal de Sarandí

On 27 June 2014, it was reported that Prono had joined Argentine Primera División club Arsenal de Sarandí on an 18-month loan deal.[7]

International career

On 10 February 2012, Prono was called up to Paraguay national football team.[8] Five days later, he made his international debut, coming off the bench to replace José Ortigoza in the last 3 minutes of the 2–0 victory against Chile.[9]

Playing style

Prono is one of the greatest prospects of Paraguayan football. He is compared with Radamel Falcao and Lucas Barrios. His main ability, despite being a 178 cm tall, is his headers. This began in the Libertad youth system, when the youth coach told Prono to throw a ball in a wall and head it every day.
