Toronto FC has acquired forward Lucas Janson on loan from Argentina's Tigre.

The 23-year-old Argentine spent the last six seasons at Tigre, where he had 10 goals and 10 assists in 82 league appearances.

The deal was made on the final day of the MLS secondary transfer window.

"Lucas is a young, dynamic player that has the ability to play out wide, up front and centrally as an attacking midfielder," Toronto FC GM Tim Bezbatchenko said in a statement. "We wanted to bring in a player that gives us multiple options in the attack and Lucas fits that need. We are excited to bring him in on loan and get him integrated into the group."

The five-foot-seven 148-pounder was part of the Tigre squad that finished runners-up in the 2012 Copa Sudamericana to Brazil's Sao Paulo. He joined the Tigre first team ahead of the 2012-13 season from the club's under-20 team.

TFC used targeted allocation money, used to help acquire top players like Spanish playmaker Victor Vazquez, to finance the deal.
