It seems to have taken until the next-to-last week of preseason for the Union to get a hold of the midfield playmaker they’ve been seeking for so long. But after so many promises and expectations, the quest appears to be finally nearing completion.
The target of the Union’s pursuits is Borek Dockal, a 29-year-old Czech Republic native. He has 27 appearances and six goals for the Czech national team dating to 2012. It isn’t known yet whether the deal will be a loan or a sale.
This much is known: The agency that represents Dockal announced via Twitter on Tuesday morning that he flew to America this week for medical examinations and to finish contract negotiations.
