The hype machine that is Jesus "Tecatito" Corona will be leaving defenders for dead in Portugal this season.

Monday saw "Tecatito" join FC Porto from FC Twente on a five-year contract, bringing an end to his association with the Dutch club following an Eredivisie campaign in which he tallied nine goals and four assists through 27 appearances.

The 22-year-old winger is widely regarded as one of the best players Mexican football has produced in some time, particularly following this summer's Copa America, where he was a bright spot in an otherwise abysmal showing from El Tri.

When "Tecatito" decides to dribble with no inhibition, the game operates at his pace, and opposing players are simply forced to try and avoid being humiliated. He can slice through backlines with his speed or set up a goal-scoring opportunity with his exemplary passing abilities.

He's the complete package, and should thrive at a club like Porto.
