The wait is over. Atlanta United have themselves a defensive midfielder. The club announced on Friday that it has signed 21-year-old Santiago Sosa from River Plate. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but reports out of South America claim that the Five Stripes have paid a transfer fee of around $6 million for the Argentine’s services.
The time has come.
