Chivas have wasted no time making a signing after missing out on the Liguilla.
The Guadalajara side, which won the Liga MX and Copa MX titles during the Clausura but crashed out of both competitions in the Apertura, announced Monday that it has signed midfielder Gael Sandoval from Santos Laguna.
The 22-year-old Sandoval was named to Mexico's preliminary Gold Cup roster this summer but didn't make the cut. He has bolstered his national team stock with a solid campaign in the Apertura despite a disappointing tournament from Los Guerreros. He moves to Chivas after being named the league's top new player in 2016-17 and had more assists than any other Mexican player in the 2017 Clausura.
