Hirving Lozano is more than ready to take on a new challenge in the United States. The player of the recently founded San Diego FC sat down for an interview with ESPN in which he compared MLS with Liga MX, where he was champion with Pachuca in 2016.

Lozano admitted that both leagues are, as things stand, at an even level, but MLS “is growing in a better way” compared to the Mexican league and will soon overtake the division where he made his name as a top talent before making the move to Europe.
