Homenchenko, 23, is Uruguayan and plays for Querétaro. He has just received his first senior call-up for his country ahead of the upcoming FIFA international window.

His career has had ups and downs, featuring spells at Peñarol, Real Oviedo, Mirandés and Pachuca. He is now at Querétaro, where he appears to be finding his best level.

He may not be the marquee name some would expect after figures such as Jonathan dos Santos or Álvaro Fidalgo, yet relative to current options he could improve América’s midfield.
