WESTERN Sydney Wanderers have signed experience goalkeeper Tomás Mejías ahead of the 2021/22 Isuzu UTE A-League season.
The 32-year-old, who most recently played for Turkish top-flight side Ankaraspor, began his career rising through the ranks of Real Madrid's youth academy.
REMEMBER the name: Keijiro Ogawa.
It's a confident message from Western Sydney Wanderers' new signing which will excite the home fans of his new club, as the Japanese forward signs on loan from J1 League side Yokohama FC ahead of the 2021/22 Isuzu UTE A-League campaign.
Joining the Wanderers will take Ogawa outside of Japanese club football for the first time in his career. The 29-year-old has spent the majority of his playing days to date at Vissel Kobe, representing the club for eight seasons.
Western Sydney Wanderers FC have today confirmed the signing of left-back Adama Traore until the end of the 2022/23 season.
The defender comes to the club after a recent two-season stint at A-League side Melbourne Victory where he made over 40 appearances.
The pacey left-back has amassed over 150 appearances in the domestic competition and has experience playing overseas at the likes of FC Basel, Vitória S.C., and Göztepe S.K.
Traore said he was excited to link up with his new teammates come the start of pre-season in July.

Western Sydney Wanderers are searching for a change in fortunes when they host a surging Melbourne City side on Tuesday.
Carl Robinson’s Red and Black were stunned 3-2 at home against Adelaide United on Saturday night and face a 72-hour turnaround before they host Patrick Kisnorbo’s team at Bankwest Stadium.
Wanderers remain fourth on the ladder despite only winning one of their last five matches and were boosted by the goalscoring return of former captain Mitchell Duke in the home reverse against Carl Veart’s Reds.
City, on the other hand, are riding a high after marking their comeback from a three-week break with an impressive 3-2 win over Sydney FC. The competition’s 10th-placed team will have a close eye on the top six if they can make it back-to-back victories.
