Brazilian Serie A football club Gremio have signed veteran Argentine forward Gaston Fernandez as they bolster their squad for this year's Copa Libertadores.

The contract includes an option of a third year.
Fernandez scored seven goals in 19 matches for Universidad de Chile after joining the Santiago-based club from Estudiantes.
His career has also included spells at River Plate, Racing Club, Monterrey, UANL and Portland Timbers.
