While growing up and playing soccer in Colombia, Yair Arboleda Quinones watched MLS on television. The next time he watches a game it will be in the United States, and it might be a replay of a game in which he played.
The Dynamo on Friday announced the acquisition of Arboleda, a 20-year old midfielder, on loan from Independiente Santa Fe of Colombia's first division. The loan lasts through the end of 2016. At that point the Dynamo will have the option to buy him.
"It is tough to leave your country, but I have to make the best of my opportunity," Arboleda said through a translator after training with the team on Friday.
