Yotún first began by playing at the age of 7 in the youth academy Academia Deportiva Cantolao until the age of 12. [2] Then he joined the youth divisions of Circolo Sportivo Italiano for two seasons.[2] Then the following years he was in the youth divisions of Deportivo Real FC, alongside Manuel Tejada.[2] In 2007 he transferred to one of Peru's biggest clubs, Sporting Cristal, and played in their youth team.[3]
In January 2008 he was loaned out to José Gálvez FBC for the 2008 Descentralizado season. There Yotún made his professional debut on March 5, 2008 in the Peruvian First Division in an away league match against Coronel Bolognesi FC. He entered the match in the 46th minute for Renzo Guevara, and the match finished in a 1-1 draw.[4] Yotún scored his first official goal on March 9, 2008 in a league match at home against Atlético Minero, which resulted in 1-0 win for his club.[5] He played his last game for José Gálvez FBC on December 14, 2008 in the last fixture of the season, which finished in a 2-2 draw at home against Universidad San Martin.[6] He made a total of 28 league appearances and scored 3 goals in his first season in the Peruvian First Division. This contributed to his club José Gálvez avoiding relegation that season by finishing in 9th place, just 5 points above the relegation zone.
In January 2009 Yotún returned to Sporting Cristal for the 2009 Descentralizado season. He made his official debut for Sporting Cristal on May 9, 2009 in a league match at home against Melgar FBC. Making his debut at the San Martin de Porres Stadium, he entered the match in the 46th minute replacing Yancarlo Casas, and the match finished in a 2-1 win for Melgar.[7]
In 2011, Yotun's impressive performances for Sporting Cristal convinced the new Peruvian national team coach Sergio Markarian to call him up for the 2011 edition of Kirin Cup. Against Japan, he made his national team debut substituting Jesus Rabanal in the 62nd minute.[8]
