A FOOTBALLER’S transfer was leaked after the name of his new club was spotted on his Tinder profile.
Clubs spend mega money these days on unveiling their new stars – think Alexis Sanchez playing the piano for Manchester United.
The footballer’s transfer was leaked after his move was confirmed in his Twitter bio
But as Sanchez proved, the money may not be worth it in the long run.
Step forward Dundalk FC, whose apparent new signing inadvertently revealed himself on Tinder.
One user of the dating app was browsing potential matches when they came across 22-year-old Jesus ‘Chino’ Perez.
He had a professional photo of himself in action as his main picture and his bio read: “First time in Europe, footballer for Dundalk FC.”
One Twitter user with a shot of his profile tweeted: “A new Dundalk signing leaked because a female fan came across him on Tinder before the club announced it.
“I don’t care what any of you say, the League of Ireland is the greatest sporting competition on earth.”
It was also reported that a Facebook post from his mum Veronica read: “Bittersweet moment as we gather this morning to wish my son the best of luck as he heads off to Ireland to try out for Dundalk FC soccer team!”
Perez comes from the University of Illinois team UIC Flames, who play in the intercollegiate Horizon League.
The American midfielder was named the league’s Player of the Year twice and made the all-star team this season.
Dundalk FC are aiming to win the League of Ireland for the sixth time in seven years.
They are yet to announce their new signing.
