The New England Revolution acquired defensive midfielder Gershon Koffie in a trade with the Vancouver Whitecaps on Thursday.
The 24-year-old Ghanaian can fill the hole left by Jermaine Jones, whose contract expired at the end of last season and who remains at a standstill in talks over a new deal.
The move also comes after the Revs' latest designated player signing Xavier Kouassi suffered a major knee injury while playing for FC Sion in Switzerland last weekend.
