Centro hailed his 'dream debut': "Nilson Angulo burst onto the international scene with a dream debut: starting against Brazil in the South American Qualifiers.
"His performance in the draw against the five-time world champions did not go unnoticed. With precise dribbling and innate ability in one-on-one situations, the Anderlecht striker showed he is ready to make the big leap."
El Futbolero Ecuador dished out similar praise: "Nilson Angulo played a key role in Ecuador's attack, forming part of a system that sought to create danger on the wings and take advantage of the speed of its wingers.
"During his time on the pitch, he attempted to break through on his own flank and link up with his teammates, finding space in the Brazilian defence."
Celtic have had an initial bid for the 21-year-old rejected, according to studiofutbol.com.
Angulo played 39 times for Anderlecht last season, scoring two goals and assisting three across all competitions. He joined the Belgian outfit in 2022 from LDU Quito in his homeland.

Danilo happy to step up for Rangers with key players absent
With Cyriel Dessers injured and Hamza Igamane returning from injury, the 26-year-old Brazilian striker, who signed from Feyenoord in 2023, is likely to start for Russell Martin's side against the League One outfit. Danilo took over from Dessers in the Champions League qualifier against Viktoria Plzen in the Czech Republic on Tuesday night when the Nigeria forward had to go off – the Gers lost 2-1 but went through to the play-off against Club Brugge 4-2 on aggregate – and wants to grasp the opportunity to make his mark. He said: 'Obviously, you work hard for any difficult moments that happen, like right now with Dessers and Hamza away. 'So, I am ready to step up and show my qualities. 'I think everybody saw how hard I work, and I also want to help the team. 'So, obviously I focus on me and this is a great opportunity for me to be ready and show my qualities.' Danilo insists he is in a more confident mood after getting a full pre-season under his belt. He said: 'Last season was a hard process for me and I had to build up confidence. 'Obviously, a new manager coming into the building, you want to show your qualities, your fitness levels. 'So, this was great for me to be ready for it. Also confidence-wise, it's been brilliant as well. 'That's what I told the last press conference, I said my head is in a great place. So, right now it's just about momentum and hopefully the goals come as well.'
