Ariel Lassiter has signed for the Houston Dynamo, and in order to complete the deal, the LA Galaxy received $50,000 in general allocation money for the player’s MLS rights, the club announced Monday.
The Galaxy could get an additional $100,000 in general allocation money from the Dynamo if certain performance metrics are met, as outlined as part of the trade.
Lassiter joins the Dynamo on loan after a successful stint with Costa Rican club Alajuelense, which he joined last year after being cut by the Galaxy. Signed as a homegrown by LA in 2015, Lassiter was a monster at USL level for Los Dos but did not get consistent playing time for the first team and scored one goal for the Galaxy first team in 25 appearances.
