No Nantes: Fire reject offer for Accam

It was a little uncertain Wednesday as FC Nantes made an unexpected bid for David Accam, but the Fire are still set on trying to sign their star player to an extension.

The Chicago Fire fended off French club FC Nantes on Deadline Day to keep star player David Accam in the Windy City for a bit longer.

Fire fans did not expect much of anything on the final day European clubs can bring in players until 2017, but it all changed with an early morning Taylor Twellman tweet that said FC Nantes were in pursuit of Chicago’s leading goal scorer.
