He apparently had a great match, going 34/34 in passing in their win. The only midfielder in Liga MX with 100% passing in the Clausura so far. Turned 23 a couple months ago, provisionally tied to the US. Necaxa were 5th in the Apertura table. #DatoCITEC @ferarce68, disputó los 90 minutos en la #Jornada2.El futbolista del @ClubNecaxa estuvo en contacto con el balón en 34 ocasiones y en cada una de ellas descargó con un compañero de manera eficiente. Fue el único mediocampista que completó el 100% de pases. pic.twitter.com/rvZKoAi6FK— Centro de Innovación Tecnológica (@CITEC_Futbol) January 22, 2020
I had the pleasure of speaking with Fernando a few years ago for an article. Nice kid, was happy to play with Tab and the U-20 team. I just have a tough time believing he will stay with the US the minute Mexico shows interest. Given his background, his father, you can't really blame him. it's a different case
This article from last year indicates his desire to play for Mexico. Of course, at the time, he was at Dorados in the 2nd tier, so there wasn't much leverage there. https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/fernando-arce-jr-at-necaxa.1977316/page-8#post-37649559

Arce went the distance in a 3-0 loss last night. #CAZvsNEC | El once de los Rayos para esta noche en el Azteca:#FuerzaRayos ⚡️ pic.twitter.com/xJ3QNXfz8P— ⚡️Club Necaxa⚡️ (@ClubNecaxa) August 30, 2020 He seems to be loosely marking the attacker that sends the header on goal off of a free kick at 0:53 in the highlights below. Arce plays the ball out to the right-back at the beginning of the move at 1:23. The assist man on the opening goal (2:04) runs off his back shoulder, but in front of the center backs to receive ball. Arce and his central midfield partner both unsuccessfully pressure the same man at 3:17 which leads to dangerous attack by the opponents. It looks like Arce was moved to center back later in the game. He blocks a shot attempt with a slide tackle (move begins at 5:28). An attacking free kick goes just over his head at 5:58.
