TUCSON, Ariz. — Not long after arriving on an intercontinental flight to Seattle, Magnus Wolff Eikrem was on the move again.
The new Sounders midfielder joined the team on its preseason trip to Arizona after signing with the club on Tuesday. The Norwegian Eikrem, 27, spent the last three years plying his trade with Malmö in Sweden and is ready to for his new challenge.
“It’s nice to play with all the players here and settle in,” said Eikrem, who is still adjusting from the nine-hour time difference. “There are a lot of good players here, and I can’t wait to start playing games with them and blend in.
