Eduardo Herrera has pulled on the famous green and white hoops of Santos Laguna.

The Sevco striker joined the Mexican side on a season long loan as he attempts to get over the nightmare of a season in Scotland working under Pedro Caixinha, Graeme Murty and Jimmy Nichol.

Herrera was expected to score the goals to take Caixinha’s side to glory but failed to make any impression as Alfredo Morelos claimed his place in the starting XI.

New boss Steven Gerrard was unimpressed by the 30-year-old and left him out of the squad that travelled to Spain for pre-season training.

Herrera stated that he would prefer to move to another European side but with no one prepared to match his wages of over £20,000 per week he returned to Mexico where Santos will make a token contribution to his wages.

Fellow Mexican Carlos Pena is also on loan in Mexico with both players under contract to Ibrox until June 2020.
