The Seattle Sounders announced on Thursday that the club had signed 22-year-old Argentine midfielder Emanuel Cecchini on loan from Spanish Segunda Divisíon side Malaga C.F.
Versatile and well-rounded, Cecchini bolsters a midfield corps that already features the likes of Cristian Roldan and Gustav Svensson.
Cecchini brings with him a skillset that translates very well to the Sounders game model, a natural byproduct of the fact that the Sounder shave been tracking since his days at Banfield in Argentina.
“We saw Cecchini at Banfield for sure, and then a little bit at Malaga,” said Vice President of Soccer Chris Henderson.
