Xavier Kouassi won't join the Revs until July, but team officials think he's worth the wait.
The New England Revolution’s new Designated Player isn’t expected to arrive until July, but head coach Jay Heaps believes that he's worth the wait.
Xavier Kouassi first caught the attention of the Revolution coaching staff while they were scouting in Switzerland. Operating as a holding midfielder, Kouassi was successfully shielding the FC Sion back line from a dynamic 4-3-3. Heaps and company had gone overseas in search of a physical, ball-winning midfielder and they had found just that.
