Official | Feyenoord sign Marcos Lopez from San Jose Earthquakes

Feyenoord have announced the signing of 22-year-old Peruvian left-back Marcos Lopez from San Jose Earthquakes, with him signing a four-year deal.

The Rotterdam club have been on the hunt for a new left-back this transfer window after losing Tyrell Malacia to Manchester United.

Theyโ€™ve been linked with a number of players but have now ended their search, securing the services of one of the most highly-rated talents to have played in the MLS in recent times.

โ€œItโ€™s great to be able to play for this beautiful club and city in Europe,โ€ Lopez told the clubโ€™s website.

โ€œThis is a big step in my career and an opportunity that I want to seize with both hands. With the help of the people within the club and the support of the fanatical, loyal supporters, I believe that I will soon feel at home here.โ€

The transfer fee is said to be around โ‚ฌ1 million, which seems a bargain given Lopez is young and is already an established Peru international.
