América officially unveil ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga | OneFootball

We had already informed you several days ago, but today it became official that José Zúñiga "La Pantera" has joined Club América.

The striker from Xolos reported to Coapa today for medical and physical exams before signing his contract with the eagles.

José Raúl Zúñiga is a 31-year-old Colombian striker who has spent most of his career in Mexican football, starting in the Expansion League; he was signed by Querétaro and his last club was Xolos de Tijuana.

The eagles bought his contract and the player signed for the next three years with Club América.

What can he bring to the team?

He arrives to cover a position that currently only has Rodrigo Aguirre; since both Henry Martín and Víctor Dávila are more of a second striker profile. In fact, this signing makes us think that Jardine might be considering playing with two strikers.

He is a striker who has goals and physical power, although perhaps the biggest doubt is whether they will be able to generate scoring opportunities, one of the biggest problems of the team during the last tournament.

It is clear that he is not the most expected signing by the Americanistas, but it can be interesting, besides being a player who will be able to show his best version from day 1, since he is totally adapted to Liga MX and did a complete preseason with Xolos.
