Among the more intriguing names on the list of trialists at the first day of Seattle Sounders was former USMNT prospect Gale Agbossoumonde.
Still just 25, the former U.S. Soccer Young Athlete of the Year (2010) is fresh off his most productive professional season, making 28 starts for the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers of the NASL.
It wasn’t all that long ago that Agbossoumonde was widely hailed as the United States’ top defensive prospect. The day he turned 19, he got his first USMNT cap and many believed him a near lock for the 2014 World Cup team.
