Jéferson Rodrigues Gonçalves signs with SKC

Sporting Kansas City have officially announced their loan deal with Brazilian attacking midfielder Jéferson Rodrigues Gonçalves, who last played at the top-tier Brazilian side Vasco de Gama. He will be Sporting Kansas City's third designated player in history. Claudio Lopez and Omar Bravo are the others. 

Jéferson will wear #10

On the Jéferson signing, Vermes said, “We are excited to have gotten Jéferson based on the fact that he is a player with the attacking qualities that can really help our team with the final pass and also scoring goals.”


 “I’m very excited to be here and I come with the goal to help the team fulfill its goal of making the playoffs and ultimately going to the final," Jéferson said, quoted directly from the Sporitng KC press release.


There's nothing shocking with this signing, or anything released from Vermes or Jéferson himself. But overall, I am excited to see what he can do. Having said that, I'm still just a little weary about Jéferson's injury-prone past.
