Segundo Arlen Portocarrero Rodríguez (born 15 October 1996) is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays as a left wing-back for Peruvian Liga 1 club Universitario de Deportes, on loan from Ecuadorian side Barcelona SC.

Club career

Portocarrero played in the youth ranks of LDU Quito in 2012, playing in 19 matches and scoring one goal.[1] In 2013, he moved to Independiente del Valle, where he scored 7 goals in 28 matches.

Portocarrero signed with Emelec in 2014, arriving in the reserve team, where he played 68 matches, scoring 5 goals, before being promoted to the first team for the 2016 season. That year, under manager Alfredo Arias, Portocarrero made his professional debut in a 1–0 home victory against LDU Quito. In 2018, he was loaned to Guayaquil City; in 2019, to Deportivo Cuenca;[2] in 2020, to Delfín SC; and in 2021, to CSD Macará. In 2022, Portocarrero was transferred to Orense SC.[3]

In 2023, he signed for Barcelona SC, where he played both the Ecuadorian Serie A and the Copa Libertadores. In January 2024, Portocarrero's loan to Peruvian club Universitario de Deportes was announced.[4] He became the subject of criticism after a number of matches, due to consideration that his performance did not measure up to what should be expected of a foreign signing,[5] which are limited in number for clubs in the Peruvian league.
