With Ronald Zubar out, the Red Bulls need a centerback. Could one be coming from Finland?
Over the past 24 hours media reports have suggested that the New York Red Bulls were prepared to pay a transfer fee for HJK center back Gideon Baah. Baah is a native Ghanaian and has been playing for the Helsinki-based club since 2014.
Now, Rahman Osman from Ghanasoccernet.com says that the potential deal may be accelerating:
@EF1234_1 Yeah even today i spoke to an official from RBNY who traveled all the way to Finland just to finalize the deal, announcement soon

With Ronald Zubar hurt in preseason, and Matt Mizaga sold to Chelsea FC, RBNY's center back corps looks depleted.
