This week, the Houston Dynamo signed Chilean right-back José Bizama on a full transfer from Primera División’s Huachipato FC using Targeted Allocation Money (TAM). The Curanilahue native has three international caps to his name and joins a Dynamo defense which already includes four players who occupy international roster slots, Alejandro Fuenmayor, Adam Lundkvist, Aljaz ‘Kiki’ Struna, and Maynor Figueroa. Houston reportedly paid $800,000 for 50% of the player’s rights, and Bizama signed a two-year contract.
Standing at 5′ 11″, Bizama, who has played more than 100 first-division games (all with Huachipato FC) since making his professional debut in 2015, is capable of playing at center-back, and in central midfield, but he will hope to make the right-back position his own.
