The Los Angeles Football Club has acquired Eddie Segura, a 21-year-old center back, from Colombian club Atletico Huila on a six-month loan, the MLS team announced Wednesday.
“At such a young age Eddie has accumulated a wealth of experience in Colombia,” John Thorrington, LAFC’s executive vice president of soccer operations, said in a statement. “We believe he has the requisite potential and qualities to make an immediate impact in our back line next season.”
And LAFC’s back line could be one in flux this offseason. The team allowed center back Laurent Ciman to return to Belgium in August and replaced him with Brazilian loan Danilo Silva.
