Spanish YouTube and Twitch star Ibai Llanos has completed the signing of Mexico and LA Galaxy star Chicharito (Javier Hernández). The 34-year-old striker appeared live with Ibai to announce the signing on Ibai’s Twitch channel.
Ibai’s team is known as FC Porcinos.

I wish Chicharito was in this world cup. Mexico would be better with him.
