Kevin Zenon career so far
Kevin Zenon has been highly rated in Argentina from an early age. The Boca Juniors star caught the eye of Lionel Messi’s father after trialing out for Newell’s Old Boys as a child (as reported by El Litoral).
Having failed to land a spot at Old Boys, Zenon was then recommended to Union Santa Fe by Jorge Messi – later breaking into the Santa Fe first team at age 19.
Zenon spent four years there before joining South American giants Boca Juniors in January 2024. He has since become a key member of the Boca squad, attracting interest from around Europe in the process.
The 23-year-old was recently part of the Argentina side that reached the quarter-finals of the Olympic games.
