The Houston Dynamo have acquired midfielder Arturo Álvarez in a trade with Chicago Fire FC, the club announced today. Houston traded its natural second-round pick in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft to the Fire.
A Houston native, Álvarez joins his hometown club after 12 seasons in Major League Soccer, the last two of which were with Chicago. Álvarez has played in 237 career games with 146 starts in regular-season play, scoring 32 goals and registering 30 assists.
“We are pleased to add Arturo Álvarez to our roster as we prepare for the 2018 season,” said Dynamo Vice President and General Manager Matt Jordan.
