Portuguese club Porto is the largest outpost for Mexican internationals in Europe, with the likes of Miguel Layun, Hector Herrera and Jesus "Tecatito" Corona in the first team, and Diego Reyes on loan at Real Sociedad.
Ostensibly, one of the reasons Porto employs so many Mexico internationals is those Mexico internationals are playing really well for them.
Just Look at their 4-0 win against Nacional Sunday, which featured this goal by Hector Herrera (assisted by Tecatito).

And this goal, which was not scored by a Mexico international but was also assisted by Tecatito.

Porto sit third in the Premeira Liga table, due in part to the play of their Mexican players. Layun, who was on the bench against Nacional, has one of the best assist records in Europe, especially for a defender. Herrera hasn't played as much as usual but the midfielder still has eight goals this season. Tecatito is still too young to tell how good he's going to be, but his play has noticeably improved as the year has gone on.
