Hirving Lozano
PSV sign Lozano
Mexico international Hirving Lozano has reached an agreement to join PSV on a 6-year deal, the Dutch club announced Monday.
The news ends a long transfer saga for the 21-year-old, who led Pachuca to Liga MX and CONCACAF Champions League titles and reportedly had Benfica and Celta Vigo among his other suitors.
On Monday, Lozano, known as "EL Chucky" thanks to his childhood pranks reminiscent of the horror movie villain, left the Mexico camp where he is with EL Tri for the Confederations Cup to go through fitness tests and see Eindhoven. He'll be back with the national team Tuesday to prepare for Wednesday's match against
new zealand.
The deal will run through the summer of 2023, the Eredivisie club announced, with Lozano set to sign the deal and join the team ahead of its Europa League qualification matches.
Lozano generally plays as a left winger, though he is right-footed and has played on both the right wing and in the center at times during his career.
He joins PSV, a club where Mexico international Andres Guardado currently plays and EL Tri defender Hector Moreno just left to sign with AS Roma.
