Born in Esmeraldas, Estupiñán joined LDU Quito's youth setup in 2011, aged 13. He was promoted to the first team ahead of the 2015 season, and made his professional debut on 1 February of that year by starting in a 1–0 home win against El Nacional.
Watford and following loans
editAn undisputed starter for the club, Estupiñán was sold to Premier League club Watford on 29 July 2016,[3] being immediately loaned to Granada CF and assigned to the latter's B-team in Segunda División B.[4]
Estupiñán made his La Liga debut on 5 April 2017, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Deportivo de La Coruña.[5] On 17 July, he was loaned to Segunda División side UD Almería for one year.[6]
On 9 August 2018, Estupiñán agreed to a one-year loan deal with RCD Mallorca in the second division.[7] The following 3 July, after achieving promotion, he signed a two-year loan deal with CA Osasuna, also freshly promoted.[8]
Villarreal

During his spell at the Valencian club, Estupiñán was a member of the squad that won the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League[11] and reached the semi-finals of the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League.[12]
Brighton & Hove Albion
editOn 16 August 2022, Estupiñán signed a five-year contract with Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee.[13] He made his debut four days later, coming on and replacing Adam Lallana in the 63rd minute in the 2–0 away win over West Ham United.[14] Estupiñán made his first start for the "Seagulls" on 27 August, helping Brighton to another win and clean sheet in the 1–0 home victory over Leeds United.[15] Estupiñán assisted returning World Cup champion Alexis Mac Allister's flick-in in the 5–1 away victory over EFL Championship side Middlesbrough in the FA Cup third round on 7 January 2023.[16] Two weeks later, on his 25th birthday, he made a brace of assists, setting up both Kaoru Mitoma's opening goal and Evan Ferguson's late equaliser in the 2–2 away draw at Leicester City in the league.[17] On 29 January, Estupiñán added to his three recent assists to make it four in as many games. Lobbing in a cross to the back post, finding Mitoma who brought the ball under control and fired Albion to a 2–1 victory over Liverpool to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup.[18] Two games later on 11 February, he added a further assist to his tally, with his searching delivery finding Solly March who fired in his effort to open the scoreline in the eventual 1–1 away draw against rivals Crystal Palace. Early on in the game he had a goal wrongly ruled out by John Brooks of VAR after the official drew the offside lines against the wrong player. Brooks was later dropped for his next two matches.[19][20] Estupiñán scored his first goal for the Albion on 14 May, hitting in stoppage time, scoring the third in the 3–0 away win at Arsenal, whilst assisting Julio Enciso's opener.[21]
