Sapong named as DP #3!

Ruidiaz, Gressell named as Spartans DP's

Following in the shoes of club legends such as Clint Dempsey, Graham Zusi, Jermaine Jones, Bradley Wright Phillips and Ola Kamara, the Chairman today announced that it will name dynamic playmaker Julian Gressel and aspiring rat-tail wearer Raul Ruidiaz as Designated Players.

The Chairman also indicated that the club is very interested in "Chicharito" for its #1 draft pick, but the club staff also mentioned Jurgen Loccadia and Alan Pulido are still in contention.

Trade Offer

The Chairman made an offer of draft pick #5 for Igancio Piatti of Gateway United. Even though he was used sparingly in 2019, the Impact's new head coach Thierry Henry confirmed that they would exercise Piatti's final option for the 2020 season. Even if there is no juice left in those legs, the Chairman believes Piatti is the right kind of personality to have around the locker room.
