COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – The Colorado Rapids have signed attacking midfielder Younes Namli on loan, with a club option to buy, the club announced Wednesday.
The Danish attacking midfielder fills one of the three vacant Designated Player slots the Rapids have entering the preseason.
“Younes is a talented and technically gifted playmaker that we’ve had our sights on for the past two years,” Colorado Rapids Executive VP of Operations and GM Pádraig Smith said in a statement. “He’s been a consistently strong performer in the Eredivisie, a league we believe translates well to MLS, and has shown a great ability on the ball and in creating clear scoring opportunities for his teammates as well as getting on the scoresheet himself.
