Club career

Born in Yoro, Lozano made his debut in the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional de Honduras at the age of only 15,[2] appearing for C.D. Olimpia against Club Deportivo y Social Vida on 11 January 2009.[3] On 21 February 2010 he scored his first goals, netting a hat-trick in the Clausura tournament 6–0 win over C.D. Victoria.

In August 2010, Lozano spent time training with Tottenham Hotspur's reserve team, impressing manager Harry Redknapp.[4][5] He was expected to stay with the North London side, but the deal never went through because he was underage and, therefore, could not sign a contract with a professional club.

On 11 August 2011, Lozano moved to Spain and signed with Valencia CF on a one-year loan,[6] but was immediately loaned to CD Alcoyano in the same community, in Segunda División.[7] He made his official debut against UD Las Palmas on 3 September, as a second-half substitute (1–0 away loss).[8]

Lozano spent the 2012–13 season with Valencia's reserves, in Segunda División B.[9] After being released, he returned to his first club Olimpia.

Lozano was Olimpia's top scorer in the 2014–15 campaign, contributing 26 goals in 38 matches.[10] On 6 August 2015, he returned to Spain and its second division after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with CD Tenerife,[11] which was extended on 9 July of the following year;[12] he was awarded the Player of the Month award for May, after helping his team reach the play-offs.[13]

On 7 July 2017, an agreement between FC Barcelona and Olimpia for Lozano was confirmed by the latter club's vice president Osman Madrid,[14] which saw the player become the first Honduran to represent the Catalans.[15] He was assigned to their reserves in division two, and in the first game of the season, he scored once and provided an assist against Real Valladolid (2–1, away).[16]

On 30 January 2018, Lozano joined La Liga side Girona FC for a fee of €1.7 million.[17][18] He made his debut in the competition 12 days later, featuring 21 minutes in the 1–0 away loss to Sevilla FC,[19] and scored his first goal on 3 March – also from the bench – to help the visitors defeat Villarreal CF 2–0.[20]

Lozano was given a direct red card late into the 2–1 home win over Rayo Vallecano on 27 October 2018, after tackling Santi Comesaña from behind.[21] He scored the equaliser against Atlético Madrid the following 9 January, cancelling out Antoine Griezmann's earlier goal in a 1–1 draw in the first leg of the Copa del Rey round of 16 tie at the Estadi Montilivi;[22] it was his second competitive goal for the club, after failing to the find the net for almost a year.[23] He once again scored in the cup when Girona faced Real Madrid in the quarter-finals,[24] in the process becoming the fourth player from his country to achieve the feat against that opposition.[25]

On 1 September 2019, Lozano was loaned to Cádiz CF of the Spanish second tier for one year.[26] He scored his first goal for the team late in the same month, in a 2–1 away win against UD Almería.[27] He added a further nine until the end of the campaign – second-best in the squad behind Álex Fernández's 13 – as his team returned to the top flight after 14 years.[28][29]

Cádiz exercised their option to buy on 22 July 2020, and Lozano signed a permanent three-year contract.[30] On 17 October, he scored the only goal in a victory over Real Madrid at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium, the first ever away against that adversary.[31]

Lozano scored his first hat-trick in the Spanish first division on 26 October 2021, in a 3–3 draw at Villarreal.[32]

International career

Lozano scored 11 goals for the Honduras under-17s, including four in the 2009 CONCACAF Championship which qualified the national team to that year's FIFA U-17 World Cup, where he netted in the 3–1 loss against Germany.[33] He made his senior debut in August 2011, coming on as a substitute for Carlo Costly (who scored both goals in the 2–0 win) in a friendly win over Venezuela.[34]

Lozano also represented the country at the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics. He scored twice in the latter tournament, helping the nation to the semi-finals in Brazil.[35][36]

Personal life

Lozano's half-brother, Luis Ramos, is also a footballer. A midfielder, he played several years in Slovakia and Hungary. His style was compared to compatriot Costly.[37]

Lozano married Alessa Gámez, with the couple later welcoming a daughter.[38]
