Since the preseason, and publicly since Gyasi Zardes was traded to the Colorado Rapids on April 22, the Columbus Crew’s transfer focus was on adding a Designated Player striker who could make a significant offensive impact. Now the club is close, with sources close to the situation confirming to Massive Report that a record-breaking deal for forward Juan “Cucho” Hernández from Watford FC, who played last season in the English Premier League before being relegated, is imminent and will likely be completed and announced next week. The contract is a multi-year deal worth more than $10 million.
