Can the Dutch striker save the completely toothless offense of the Chicago Fire? I guess it doesn't hurt to try.
The much rumored signing of Dutch striker Michael de Leeuw is finally official.
The 29-year-old FC Groningen product scored 46 goals over the last four seasons for the Eredivisie club, leading the club in scoring for three of those seasons. He is a bit on the small side at 5'10", 148 pounds, so it will be interesting to see how he handles the physicality of the MLS game.
The Fire signed de Leeuw to a three-year deal with an option for a fourth.
