The Tijuana Xolos have had a very active transfer window with 10 official signings so far. Club Tijuana also announced Pablo Guede as the new manager and the Argentine revealed in an interview with Fox Sports that Jonathan Orozco, Eryc Castillo and Ariel Nahuelpan were all set to join the Xoloitzcuintles as well.
The Jonathan Orozco deal had been leaked a few days back as Gibran Lajud is in Torreon and is set to join Santos Laguna in what is being labeled as a swap deal. Eryc Castillo is also coming over from Santos Laguna, but he is not part of the Jonathan Orozco deal.
Castillo was out on loan at Santos Laguna and is now coming back to Club Tijuana. The specifics of the Ariel Nahuelpan deal are unknown as the Argentine striker was set to be on loan at Queretaro for a year but he was recalled earlier than expected by the Xolos.
All three players are beneficial to the squad as they all have the ability to be very important players for the Border City Dogs. Castillo adds depth to the attack as he can play on either wing.
Pablo Guede has confirmed in an interview with Fox Sports that Ariel Nahuelpan, Eryc Castillo and Jonathan Orozco are headed to #Xolos. #LigaMXeng

Nahuelpan and Orozco are likely to be important starting players for Pablo Guede as both are very good players in their position in the Liga MX. Nahuelpan had previous success with Club Tijuana and Orozco offers a lot of leadership for the Aztec Canines.
