LA Galaxy confirm loan deal for Boca star Pavon

Boca Juniors forward Cristian Pavon will play the rest of 2019 in Major League Soccer after LA Galaxy confirmed a deal had been reached for the Argentina international.

Pavon, 23, was previously considered one of the Argentine Superliga's top prospects after making a big impact at Boca early on, and formed part of the Albiceleste team in last year's World Cup.

But he has struggled for form recently, and found himself frozen out of the first team after Guillermo Barros Schelotto's exit at the end of 2018 following Copa Libertadores final defeat to arch-rivals River Plate.
