Impact add youth, depth to midfield with loan acquisition of Argentine Arregui
MONTREAL — The Montreal Impact added depth and youth to their midfield group Wednesday with the acquisition of Adrian Arregui on a one-year loan from Argentine first division club Atletico Temperley.
Arregui, 24, bolsters a central midfield group that includes Hernan Bernardello, Marco Donadel and Patrice Bernier, who are all in their 30s.
The Impact made room for him on their squad earlier Wednesday by acquiring an international roster spot from D.C. United in exchange for US$75,000 in general allocation money.
“Adrian is a dynamic central midfielder that can cover a lot of ground,” Impact technical director Adam Braz said in a release. “He has a high work rate and a strong mentality that will fit into the culture we are building.
