The constancy of Arteaga
The Mexican side played more than two,000 minutes in season . Former footballer of Santos Laguna has participated in 28 matches in the season 2020 / 2021. During that number of matches, the Mexican international distributed four assists and scored a goal .
Quality side for “El Tri”
After the end of the campaign with Genk, Arteaga could be taken into account for the Tokyo Olympics . The age of the footballer does not violate the tournament regulations and he is also a player who likes Jaime Lozano . However, everything would depend on the authorization from your club .
