Scouting Report on new D.C. United forward Kennedy Igboananike

As you’ve no doubt heard, D.C. United acquired striker Kennedy Igboananike from the Chicago Fire on Friday. One of the perks of writing for a site on SB Nation is having expertise on every MLS team in house, and this morning we’re taking full advantage of that, asking Adam Merges of our Fire-flavored sister site Hot Time in Old Town what it is fans in the DMV should expect from the Nigerian attacker.

Here’s what he had to say.

When Kennedy Igboananike was signed by Frank Yallop and Brian Bliss back towards the end of 2014, most of the Fire fan base was shocked to hear that he was signed to a DP contract and his playing experience was in Sweden.
