Gonzalo Pineda hinted at three signings to bolster Atlanta United while speaking to the media a few weeks ago at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground. In the time since, both Giorgos Giakoumakis and Luis Abram have been rumored and then finalized as players prior to the start of the MLS season on February 25th. The elusive third signing, though, has been the point of much speculation. Another backup forward? A midfielder with a different mindset than the current crew?
According to Steven Goff from the Washington Post, a backup forward is the correct answer.
