Club career

Alianza Lima

Farfán began his professional career with Alianza Lima of Peru, with whom he signed in 2001. Although he made some appearances on the first-team in 2001, Farfán only began to break through in 2002, becoming an impact player and helping Alianza win the Peruvian championship in 2003. In his final season with the club in 2004, Farfán scored 14 goals, helping the club to another Peruvian championship.

Jefferson Farfan in 2005.

PSV Eindhoven

Following that season he was purchased by Dutch club PSV Eindhoven after being scouted by Guus Hiddink, for a reported 2 million Euro transfer fee.

FC Schalke 04

On 5 June 2008, it was reported that PSV had reached an agreement with German side Schalke 04 over the transfer of Farfán for around €10 million.^[5] On 10 June 2008, the club officially confirmed the transfer of Farfán on a four-year contract.^[6] On 28 April 2012, Schalke announced that Farfán had signed a contract extension, which would keep him at S04 until 30 June 2016.^[7]

Al Jazira Club

On 20 July 2015, after seven years at the club, Schalke confirmed that Farfán had joined Al Jazira Club for a reported fee of €6 million on a three-year deal, where he could earn up to €10 million a year.^[8]

Farfán left the club on 19 October 2016, because the club did not respect all the clauses in his contract.^[9]

Lokomotiv Moscow

On 28 January 2017, he signed with the Russian Premier League side FC Lokomotiv Moscow.^[10] The Russian team announced his signing after an irregular 2016, where he even was inactive for a hundred days after finishing in October 2016 a millionaire contract with Al Jazira. After 6 months of recovery, Farfán had a good season making goals that allowed his team to get the national title after 14 years.^[11]

International career

Farfán is an important player for the Peruvian national team. Since making his debut for the side in February 2003, he has gained 81 caps and is fourth on the nation's career goalscoring list with 24 goals.

Farfán ended the South American 2006 World Cup qualifiers as the second top scorer, with seven goals.

He was suspended for 18 months from representing the national football team of Peru.^[12] But on 3 July 2008, after an investigation and a review of the facts, the suspension was changed to three months (from the date of appeal in April 2008) and $10,000. Farfan scored the winning goal in the World Cup qualifier at home to Chile on 23 March 2013.

He was a member of the Peru national football team that finished in third place at the 2015 Copa América. Farfán has been a key performer for Peru during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers where he scored 3 goals. He scored 2 goals in a 3–4 home loss to Chile and the winner in a 1–0 home win over Paraguay. He scored one of two goals in a 2–0 home win against New Zealand that led Peru qualify to the 2018 FIFA World Cup after a 36-year absence.

In May 2018 he was named in Peru's provisional 24-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.^[13]

Playing style

Farfán is considered as a fast forward or winger, and regarded less as a goal-scorer, but more as a creator and assister of goals.^[3] His one-on-one dribbling ability, accurate corner kicks and passes contributed heavily to Schalke's goals, especially in the international arena.^[14] Farfán is also known for his penalty kick and direct or indirect free kick ability.^[15]
