The secondary transfer window for MLS closes Aug. 7 and the Sounders don’t appear fazed.
Team sources state possible signings are “in the works” but if nothing materializes, the club is fine. Why? Because of Danny Leyva.
“Absolutely,” said Garth Lagerwey, the club’s general manager and president of soccer.
In the four months since Leyva’s April signing, he has transitioned from the youngest acquisition in Sounders history to a proven MLS starter. The 16-year-old midfielder made his third start of the season in a road matchup against Houston last week and the club is 3-0 in matches where he’s part of the starting lineup.
