LA Galaxy has re-signed USMNT under-20 international Mauricio Cuevas from Club Brugge.
According to The Athletic reporter Tom Bogert, 20-year-old Cuevas has re-joined the club he left when he was released back in 2021.
Standing at just five foot seven inches, the diminutive right-back has failed to break into the first team for Brugge who currently sit a disappointing fourth in the league table, an incredible 16 points behind rivals Genk, after firing ex-England international midfielder Scott Parker as their head coach last month.
