Two LDU de Quito trialists in Chicago Fire California camp

An addition to the recent LDU de Quito posts here at the blog.

The official blog of the Chicago Fire reported yesterday that two LDU de Quito players are on trial with the club in Ventura, California.

18-year-old forward Kevin Mercado and 21-year-old midfielder Jose Alexander are both attempting to earn a roster spot with the Fire.

If they end up without a contract and return to the Ecuadorian club, they'll have some new kits to wear.
