The Portland Timbers broke a club-record in signing Brian Fernandez from Necaxa.
The 24-year-old Argentine has scored 12 goals in 15 games in the current Clausura.
Manager Gio Savarese said Fernandez will add versatility to their attack.
\"We are very pleased to welcome Brian Fernandez to our team. Brian is a player who possesses many different attacking qualities that can cause issues for the opposition. He has shown the ability to unlock defenses and score goals in a variety of ways throughout his career, and, while we view him as a forward with our immediate group, his versatility and ability to play in different positions and systems gives us further tactical flexibility and options.\"
