Here to play: Jairo Torres introduced as the Fire’s new DP
Mexican international Ían Jairo Torres was finally unveiled as a Fire player after a months-long wait since he signed his contract back in pre-season. The 21-year-old, who joins the Fire from reigning Liga MX champion Atlas, should inject some youthful energy into the Chicago attack, which has been lacking productivity all season.
“It’s really exciting to be able to come here,” said Torres. “With the growth of the league, a lot of the players who have come here have also moved on to play in Europe, and at the end of the day, that’s everyone’s dream. The project that they showed to me was also something that I really enjoyed, that I really liked.”
