Sebastien Ibeagha traded by New York City FC to LAFC

New York City FC traded away one of their longest-tenured players on Friday, sending defender Sebastien Ibeagha to Los Angeles FC. The deal involved $150,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) heading to the Bronx club, along with the possibility of another $50,000 should certain performance requirements be met.

After being named the USL’s Defender of the Year in 2017, Ibeagha signed with the club ahead of the 2018 season.
