Kenneth Vargas, born on 17 April 2002 (age 24), is a Costa Rican right winger now with Kalamata. His profile is still that of a developing forward rather than a finished article, with his best football to date coming in his homeland.
Vargas made his clearest mark at Herediano, where the 2022-23 league season brought 10 goals in 41 appearances. That remains his most productive campaign, and it gives a fairer sense of his level than any attempt to dress him up as something grander.
Now at Kalamata, he is valued at around £765,000 by Transfermarkt. His career so far is a straightforward one: a Costa Rican wide player who showed end product at Herediano and is now trying to build on it in Greece.
