Sebastián Eduardo Leto (born 30 August 1986) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Panathinaikos as a winger or forward.
Born in Alejandro Korn, Leto began his career with Buenos Aires club Lanús, making his first team debut on 25 June 2005. He spent two seasons at the club, making 52 appearances and scoring 8 goals.
On 10 August 2007, Leto signed for Liverpool for £1,850,000 ($3.6million). His debut was against Toulouse, in a 4–0 victory for UEFA Champions League qualifying round fixture on 28 August 2007.
Following this he featured in another Champions League game and two Football League Cup matches. He never made his Premier League debut due to problems with his passport, forcing him to play in the Liverpool reserve team instead. Leto was granted an Italian passport in mid-2007 but this was later revoked, making the Argentine need to apply for a work permit; a request which was later refused. Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez criticised the decision given the player's track record in the Champions League and national selection for the Olympics.
Leto joined the Greek team Olympiacos in June 2008 on a one-year loan deal.
On 16 September 2008, Leto scored the second goal in the 2–0 UEFA Cup first round, first leg victory away against FC Nordsjælland. He scored his first and only league goal in a 2–1 home win against Thrassyvoulos in December 2008.
