Miguel Arturo Layún Prado (born 25 June 1988) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club Porto and the Mexico national team.
Layún began his career in 2006 with Veracruz, and in 2009 signed for Italian club Atalanta, becoming the first Mexican player to play in the Serie A, where he only made two substitute appearances. He returned to Mexico in 2010 with América, winning two league titles before joining Watford in January 2015.
An international since 2013, Layún represented Mexico at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and two CONCACAF Gold Cups, winning the 2015 edition.
Born in Córdoba, Veracruz, Layún began his professional career with Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz, in his home state, in 2006. He debuted in the Primera División (first division) during the Clausura 2007 tournament on 28 April against Necaxa. The match ended in a 1–1 draw.
He went on to stay with the club until 2009, with Veracruz ultimately being relegated to the second division. Layún managed to score his only goal with Veracruz in a 5–1 victory against Tampico Madero on 25 February 2009, scoring the fifth and final goal.
After his time with Veracruz, Layún had a successful trial with Italian club Atalanta, transferring for €625,000. The move made Layún the first Mexican to play in the Serie A.
