La U´s Lichnovsky snapped up by Porto
Young defender Igor Lichnovsky has left Universidad de Chile to sign for FC Porto.
The 20-year-old centre-back has been bought by the Portuguese outfit for a fee believed to be around 2.5million euros.
Lichnovsky played in the under-20 World Cup in Turkey last year and has been on the radar of European clubs for a long time.
However, his club form failed to really convince in recent months and a number of yellow and red cards stunted his progress.
In the long-term, he could turn out to be an option for the Chilean national team. There aren´t many candidates for the centre-back positions and the tall Lichnovsky has the physical attributes necessary.
