Chivas USA Land Selecta Midfielder

Reports out of El Salvador from earlier this year indicating that Salvadoran National Team member William Osael Romero was on the verge of being signed to an MLS contract have been confirmed Stateside.

The Selecta winger had recently been linked with FC Dallas, DC United, Colorado Rapids and Chivas USA, but in the end Chivas USA claimed him, although FC Dallas held his rights. Chivas USA obtained his rights from FC Dallas in exchange for allocation money and expects to have Romero in camp within the next couple of weeks.

Romero joins the L.A. side on loan from Vista Hermosa of the Salvadoran First Division and is expected to help reinforce a midfield that has been hit hard by injuries and attrition.
