América 'interested' in Necaxa utility man Alejandro Zendejas | OneFootball

It is common knowledge that América are on the search for a right winger, and Alejandro Zendejas is the latest to be linked with the Azulcrema.

RÉCORD reports that the Necaxa man’s versatility makes him a strong option for Las Águilas, with Santiago Solari and his coaching staff behind the effort to sign him ahead of the 2022 Clausura.

While raised in Texas, the 23-year-old was born in Ciudad Juárez and would thus qualify as a ‘homegrown’ Mexican.

The strong recent relationship between the clubs in terms of transfers should also help smooth any negotiations.

Zendejas, who made his senior debut for El Tri in October, had an impressive Apertura campaign with Los Rayos.

He played every minute of their 17 regular-season games, scoring six goals and registering two assists.

In addition to the right flank, the FC Dallas academy graduate can also operate on the opposite flank and in central midfield.
