Club career
Ayacucho
In January 2017, Espinosa refused to sign a three-year professional contract with Sporting Cristal because the parties couldn't agree, and instead joined Ayacucho FC on a free agent, alongside three other former teammates from Sporting Cristal.[2] Espinosa had been contacted by Francisco Melgar from Cristal's management, who Espinosa previously worked under at Cristal, and signed a deal for the whole 2017 season, after having played in three preseason friendly matches for Ayacucho.[3]
However, Espinosa was never able to make his professional debut for the club.

After only playing 14 minutes during the 2018 season in the Peruvian Primera División, Espinosa was loaned out to Universidad de San Martín for the 2019 season.[6] Espinosa played 23 games and scored four goals.
Espinosa was loaned out again for the 2020 season, this time to UTC Cajamarca.[7]
