Alvaro Fernandez against Chile

World Soccer Reader is suggesting that Sounders FC is looking to obtain 24-year old midfielder Alvaro Fernandez (based on this report and this one).

Fernandez currently is under contract with Nacional in Uruguay and has 8 caps for the Uruguayan National Team.

He is described on the FIFA website as…

A speedy, right-sided attacking midfielder, Alvaro Fernandez is a player of many gifts. A direct runner from midfield, the incisive Uruguayan is capable of reaching the by-line and supplying his strikers with precise crosses. Alternatively, he is just as adept at cutting in from in the flank and going for goal himself.

During the World Cup, Fernandez appeared in 4 of Uruguay’s matches where he recorded a shot and committed two fouls (while suffering 3).
