It has now been nearly four days since an Italian website suggested Keisuke Honda could be signing with the Seattle Sounders “imminently.” Suffice it to say, those reports were, at the very least, a bit overblown.
Since then, however, it has been pretty well established that the Sounders are at least interested in the Japanese star. One of the holdups appears to be the complicated ownership situation at AC Milan, and now it appears we’re not quite as close to that being resolved as was previously expected.
In the meantime, though, Sounders GM Garth Lagerwey was asked about Honda on the record for the first time.
