Ysrael Zúñiga

Herlyn Ysrael Zúñiga Yáñez (born 27 August 1976) is a Peruvian dentist and former footballer who played as a striker for the Peru national team and for clubs including Coventry City, Estudiantes and Melgar.

He gained some international fame after scoring a league-record equalling 32 goals for Melgar in his first season in the Primera División Peruana in 1999.

His goalscoring success prompted English Premier League club Coventry City to purchase him for £750,000 in February 2000.

However, he was unable to find any form in England; scoring three goals in 30 appearances spread over two and a half years with Coventry before he was released in the summer of 2002.

Zúñiga returned to his homeland following the conclusion of his spell in Argentina to join Sporting Cristal, a club he spent time at as a teenager before leaving the game to study to be a dental worker.
