New York City FC completes signing of defender Maxime Chanot from Belgium's KV Kortrijk

This is the kind of move that teams make in anticipation of a playoff run, folks.

On Saturday, New York City FC announced that it had acquired French-born Luxembourg international Maxime Chanot from KV Kortrijk of the Belgium Pro League.

A center back who can also cover on the right, Chanot is valued at €1.5 million ($1.65 million) on Transfermarkt.

In 2013, he was a teammate of NYCFC bruiser Frederic Brillant at Belgian side Beerschot AC. Patrick Vieira may not wait long before pairing these two big bodies together again.
