Recoba Completes Torino Transfer

Uruguayan forward Alvaro Recoba has finally completed his move away from the San Siro, leaving Internazionale in favour of Torino...

Alvaro "El Chino" Recoba has signed for Torino, penning a loan deal from Internazionale.

After months of speculation, the Uruguayan has finally completed his transfer, and could slot straight into the Toro squad for this weekend's match with Reggina this weekend.

"El Chino" was out of favour at the San Siro, being fifth or sixth in the pecking order for two striker places and was faced with the possibility of a season in the stands.

He played just thirteen league games last season, scoring once, but will hope to get a once-promising career back on track in Turin.

At the age of 31, his career is drawing to a close, but most feel that he still has the talent to succeed at the top level, after being linked with clubs ranging from Atletico Madrid to Napoli over the summer.

Overall, he's been contracted to the nerazzurri since 1997, scoring 53 Serie A goals in that time. Previously, El Chino served Venezia (on loan from Inter), Nacional and Danubio.
