LAFC clinched a berth into the FIFA Club World Cup at the expense of Club América, Mexico’s most popular and successful team.
With LAFC’s tournament beginning in Atlanta against Chelsea FC on Monday, the Black & Gold went back to their vanquished foes seeking reinforcements.
Making use of a mini transfer window from June 1-10 that was specifically designed for the 32 teams competing in the $1 billion competition, LAFC has acquired 26-year-old Dutch winger Javairô Dilrosun.
During the Club World Cup play-in match May 31 at BMO Stadium against América, which LAFC won 2-1, Dilrosun came off the bench for the 30-minute extra time period. The Amsterdam native took two shots. The first was blocked and the second was saved by goalkeeper Hugo Lloris at the near post after Dilrosun ran into the box behind LAFC’s back line.
“Javairô is a player we are familiar with who has shown his talent playing in some of the top leagues in the world,” LAFC co-president and general manager John Thorrington said in a statement. “We are excited to add a quality player like Javairô as we prepare for the unique challenge of playing in the Club World Cup.”
Terms of the loan, which expires July 24, include a club option to make the transfer permanent. For the time being, Dilrosun serves as a Designated Player.
