Mexico World Cup star Layun causes Sevilla double-take with La Liga quality tournament

The versatile El Tri player has turned heads at the World Cup and is pushing for a long-term stay in Seville

Miguel Layun is focused on the World Cup.

You can tell from the his performances. The versatile player, who turned 30 on Monday, has essentially gone from Mexico's left back to its right winger in this tournament. He's done it well, helping Carlos Vela have the freedom to sit behind center forward Chicharito but also shoring up a right side that has featured either converted center back Carlos Salcedo or 20-year-old novice Edson Alvarez behind him at right back.
