The reigning Ligue 1 champions are on the verge of securing the signature of Emanuel Herrera who scored goals for fun in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chile-c2871 last season
Last night, while talking to reporters, Montpellier Herault president’s son and Deputy Chairman, Laurent Nicollin confirmed that the club is about to sign a striker from abroad.
Reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 claim that the striker is Emanuel Herrera. The 25-year-old Argentine striker wore the colours of Union Espanola last season. He first came into the scene in the Chilean second division last season when he scored 27 goals in just 35 games.
This year, the player proved that he has what it takes to play at the top level by scoring 11 goals in 17 league games and five goals in 10 Copa Libertadores for Union.
The player seems quite similar to Olivier Giroud. The new http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 signing had modest times in Ligue 2 before finally making his mark for La Paillade last season.
Herrera, who hails from Rosario weighs on opposing defences constantly and can be quite a handful for defenders.
In Chile, the striker has been likened to Spanish international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
The Argentine striker was preferred over the likes of Victor http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Estrada-c23693 from the Chilean league giants Universidad
de Chile.
The 29-year-old has become an integral part of La Paillade since his arrival and was an instant hit when he first came to the club.
The same can be expected of Herrera whose goalscoring exploits in the South American region have impressed a lot of people.
Born in Rosario, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chacarita-Juniors-c38779 as a youngster before he made his big break at Chilean side Concepcion. After just one campaign in which he found the back of the net 27 times, the player was snapped up by Union Espanola.
For the Santiago de Chile-based side, the striker proved to be an instant hit and many Montpellier fans would be hoping to see the Argentine fill in the void that Giroud’s departure has left.
