New Revs DP midfielder Xavier Kouassi could be the successor to Jermaine Jones, but what will the Revs do until he arrives later this summer?
Earlier today, the New England Revolution announced the signing of midfielder Xavier Kouassi as a Designated Player on a pre-contract from Swiss club FC Sion. Kouassi will be added to the roster following the end of his current contract on June 30, 2016.
There's a lot to like about Kouassi. He seems to be the replacement for Jermaine Jones in the Revs starting lineup; a rangy, hard tackling, box-to-box midfielder that likes to get involved on the counter attack.
