In news Lions supporters have been anticipating for weeks now, Orlando City SC have finally confirmed the signing of Paraguayan midfielder Josué Colmán.

Joining Orlando City SC from Cerro Porteño in a five-year contract including club options, the 19-year-old’s arrival takes our winter signings tally to seven.

An extremely exciting signing, Josué Colmán was very highly-rated during his time at Cerro Porteño where he made 48 appearances for the Paraguayan Primera División outfit.

Part of the Cerro Porteño side that were crowned champions in the 2017 Torneo Clausura, Josué Colmán will bring a winning mentality and an ability to play as a classic number 10, a secondary striker or out on the wings.

Joining Orlando City SC as a Young Designated Player, Josué Colmán will occupy an international roster slot.

Still a teenager of course, Josué Colmán is the latest in a line of talented South American stars hoping to push forward their careers in the United States – a fantastic sign for Major League Soccer.

An unfamiliar name to Orlando City SC supporters prior to December, all City fans now know who he is with his arrival heavily anticipated for weeks now.

Back on January 5th, photos were leaked of Josué Colmán signing an MLS contract.

Additionally, Orlando City SC supporters received other clues such as the player bidding a heartfelt goodbye to Cerro Porteño via Instagram on January 12th.

Following the notable signing of Sacha Kljestan back on January 3rd, Josué Colmán‘s arrival underlines the Orlando City SC Front Office’s lofty ambitions in the transfer market this winter.

Losing a club legend and leader in the dressing room like Kaká isn’t easy but the general consensus among Lions fans is that Kljestan and Colmán are more than adequate attack-minded replacements.

With Orlando City SC Twitter currently marvelling at the capture of Josué Colmán, Orlando City UK gathered the best tweets following his arrival in The City Beautiful.
