Jéfferson Agustín Farfán Guadalupe (born October 26, 1984 in Lima, Peru) is a Peruvian football forward who plays for PSV Eindhoven of the Eredivisie. He is a fine dribbler, and has proved himself to be one of the Eredivisie's most lethal strikers.
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 level in 2001, Farfán only began to breakke 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, 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 of 2003, he has already gained more than 20 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 7 goals. At present he is rated one of the best football players in the Netherlands with a lot of potential. English club Newcastle United were interested in buying the talented player in the 2006 summer transfer market, after he impressed in a friendly against them. However he has since signed a contract extension for PSV which will keep him at the club until 2010.
