One more addition to Jadson Viera's squad

Ávila's arrival is now fully part of the latest news around the red side's squad. The move adds a familiar face to local football and, at the same time, gives Jadson Viera another option in attack.

The information confirmed in recent hours places the forward as the club's new signing. There were no further details about his fitness or a possible debut date, so for now the focus is on the signing itself and the message he sent when he joined up.

“I always wanted to come back,” said Chimy Ávila.

What the striker said upon joining

Beyond the impact of the quote, the concrete fact is that Independiente has added another piece to its squad and the player himself showed a positive attitude on arrival. In a transfer window where every move is closely watched, the arrival of a striker with European experience and a spell in the domestic game gives another name to the attacking rotation.
