We are closing in on the start of the secondary transfer window in Major League Soccer and that only means one thing: transfer rumors. The Columbus Crew has been eagerly awaiting this window to add a new Designated Player striker and the transfer speculation got a bit hotter on Sunday afternoon as ESPN commentator Taylor Twellman fanned the flames by suggesting that Black & Gold not only were in the market to sign a striker but one from the English Premier League.
“They will go out and spend big money on a No. 9,” Twellman said during halftime of Sunday’s MLS contest between New England Revolution and Sporting Kansas City.
