New York City FC are delighted to announce the signing of Alexander Callens, pending receipt of his P-1 visa and ITC.
The Peruvian 24-year old joins on a free transfer from Numancia.
A pacey and powerful left-footed center back, Callens has made 10 international appearances for Peru and arrives in New York following six years in Spain.
Callens told NYCFC.com: “This is a great joy. It's a new experience that I'm sure will help me maintain a good competitive rhythm and will help me develop more at my position.
“Of course it's exciting to have a coach like Patrick Vieira with experience at a world level and who will guide me to help improve in my performance.
