Jéfferson Agustín Farfán Guadalupe (born October 26, 1984 in Lima, Peru) is a Peruvian football forward who plays for PSV Eindhoven of the Eredivisie. He is a fine dribbler, and has proved himself to be one of the Eredivisie's most lethal strikers.
Farfán began his professional career with Alianza Lima of Peru, with whom he signed in 2001. Although he saw some time in 2001, Farfán broke through in 2002, becoming an impact player and helping Alianza win the Peruvian championship.
In his final season with the club in 2004, Farfán scored 14 goals for Alianza Lima, helping the club to another Peruvian championship. Following that season, he was purchased by Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, for a reported 2 million Euro transfer fee.
Farfán is currently an important player for the Peru national team. Since making his debut for the side in February of 2003, he has already gained more than 20 caps. He has also contributed vital goals for PSV both domestically as well as in the UEFA Champions League which saw PSV enjoying a fine run to the semi-finals in the 2004/2005 season.
Jefferson Farfán ended the South American 2006 World Cup qualifiers as the second top scorer, with 7 goals. So far he is one of the best football players in the Netherlands. English club Newcastle United with Manager Glenn Roeder are currently interested in buying the talented player in the 2006 summer transfer market. But now he has recently resigned a contract for PSV and will stay until 2010
