The background to our latest signing
The left-sided defender, who is comfortable as a wing-back, was confirmed as our second summer signing over the weekend.
After impressing scouts with his performances for Cerro Porteno, he is on course to be the first Paraguayan to represent the Reds.
Born in Colonia Yguazu, the youngest of nine children, his mother spoke about how he would play with a ball made of rolled-up cloth as they could not afford a proper one, when revealing her son predicted as a five-year-old that he would play for Cerro, one of the nation's leading sides.
He fulfilled that ambition, as a 13-year-old, and was top scorer at youth levels, despite often operating at full-back.
