Club career edit
Emelec edit
Ayoví started at lower division club Paladín "S". In 2006, his cousin Walter Ayoví recommended him to try out at Emelec.[2] He did and was impressive enough to be signed on a 4-year deal when he was 18 years.
Despite his height and size he started playing as an open forward, or a winger and not as a center forward, because he is very skilled with the ball and very fast and he did not like to have to go down the middle but preferred to run to the sides where there was more space to move.
On 2009 he was loaned to first division club Manta to gain more minutes and experience. He did well playing in 32 matches of the Ecuadorian league and scoring 7 goals, despite this Emelec management were going to loan him again for the next season, but newly signed manager Jorge Sampaoli saw videos of Ayoví and requested him to stay in the 2010 squad, as a first substitution for the Argentinian striker Hernan Peirone.
As the 2010 season started it was becoming clear that Ayoví would have plenty more chances than expected and soon he became Sampaoli's first choice for the attack leaving Peirone in the bench. Ayoví did not disappoint and quickly started scoring important goals for his team, and was absolutely key to Emelec winning the first stage of the 2010 Ecuadorian tournament and reaching the final to be played in December 2010.
