The France international is the latest European player to make the switch to Mexico, much to his ex-team-mate's delight
Florian Thauvin's move to Mexican side Tigres will help boost Liga MX's reputation in Europe, says Santos Laguna centre-back Matheus Doria.
France international Thauvin joined Tigres UANL from Marseille this summer, signing a five-year deal.
The switch reunites the 28-year-old with Andre-Pierre Gignac, who joined the Liga MX team from Marseille six years ago.
