Player Profile
Nicknamed ‘El Tierno’ (‘The Tender One’), centre-back Chavez is good in the air but his lack of pace could be exposed in South Africa.
He had trials with Tottenham, Celtic and Sunderland last season and was poised for a loan move to Newcastle in January but returned to his Honduran club Platense to get some games under his belt when the move to St James’s Park fell through.
He was left out of the Honduran squad for the friendly against Turkey in March because of a lack of match practice.
Portsmouth were also linked with a move for the defender and Chavez has said he would love the challenge of playing in the Premier League. Expect him to be watched closely in South Africa.
