Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven have signed Ecuadorian international Edison Vicente Méndez with the midfielder coming to the Netherlands on a one-year loan deal from LDU Quito in his homeland.
Koeman hopeful
"He has had his medical tests and is back in Ecuador getting all the paperwork in good order. We expect him to be back early next week and to be eligible to play the weekend after," said PSV coach Ronald Koeman.
International experience
The 27-year-old, who has appeared 68 times for his country and was part of the Ecuador squads at both the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups, joins the UEFA Champions League hopefuls after just one year with LDU Quito. "Méndez can play on the wing, where we now lack a certain quality," added Koeman.
