ATLETICO MADRID SIGNS HECTOR HERRARA ON A FREE TRANSFER

Atletico Madrid have announced the signing of midfielder Hector Herrera on a free transfer after the Mexico international left Porto.

Herrera will be expected to offer more of a threat in the final third and he will sign a three-year contract at the Wanda Metropolitano on Thursday.

The former Pachuca star spent six years in the Primeira Liga with Porto, winning one league title in 6 years.

An all action box to box midfielder, Herrera had long been linked with Atletico due to his style of play being deemed suitable for Diego Simeone’s system.

He becomes Atletico’s fifth signing of the close season following former Porto team-mate Felipe, Renan Lodi, Nicolas Ibanez and Marcos Llorente, while Joao Felix is also expected to join the club from Benfica.
