Osorio: I 'almost begged' Pachuca to let Lozano move to PSV

The El Tri manager says he was delighted to see the winger move to Europe, though his stay could be short lived amid Premier League links

Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio was delighted to see Hirving Lozano move to Europe from Liga MX, saying he and others in the Mexican national setup helped the 22-year-old go from Pachuca to PSV in the summer.

Lozano helped Tuzos to the CONCACAF Champions League crown before joining PSV this summer. He's since enjoyed a breakout year in the Netherlands, where his 13 goals lead the Eredivisie. The fantastic season has increased speculation that he'll move on from Eindhoven after the season, like Osorio's former Atletico Nacional player Davinson Sanchez did after a year with Ajax.
