MEXICO CITY, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Argentinian midfielder Santiago Caseres has joined Mexican giants America from Spain's Villarreal.
The Liga MX outfit confirmed the move in a brief statement late on Wednesday, without providing details. Local media reported that America secured the 22-year-old under a 12-month loan agreement with the option of a permanent deal.
Caseres has not played since suffering knee ligament damage while playing for Villarreal against Huesca in La Liga last April.
He made just 23 top-flight appearances for Villarreal after joining the club from Velez Sarsfield in July 2018.
America is currently eighth in the 18-team Liga MX Clausura standings after three rounds.
