The Houston Dynamo have received interest from unnamed Mexican clubs for Designated Player striker Erick āCuboā Torres, according to KXLN Houston Univision sports anchor Lester Gretsch.
Torres, 23, signed a high-profile DP deal with Houston in December 2014 after scoring 22 goals in 44 games in a year-and-a-half with Chivas USA. He then spent the first half of 2015 on loan at Liga MX club Chivas Guadalajara before eventually arriving in Houston last summer.
Expected to be a major part of the Dynamoās setup, Torresā stint in Texas has been wildly disappointing. He hasnāt been able to beat out Will Bruin or Mauro Manotas for regular playing time in Houstonās one-forward system and still hasnāt scored an MLS goal for the Dynamo.
Despite his struggles with Houston, Torres has had a good run with Mexicoās youth national teams. He was a regular call-up to the countryās Under-23s in the buildup to this summerās Olympics and played in two of Mexicoās three matches in Brazil.
Torres' time on the international stage has no doubt given him plenty of exposure to clubs in Mexico. He could potentially find more playing time south of the border than he has in Houston, where heās earned just 401 minutes in 11 MLS appearances ā only four of which have been starts ā this year.
