The MLS rumor mill has churned out its first name linked to the Seattle Sounders: Vincent Janssen. Yes, that’s the Vincent Janssen currently playing in Liga MX with Monterrey, who had previously spent two seasons at Tottenham Hotspur and once scored 27 goals in the Eredivisie.
The rumor comes from a reputable source, too, with Univision’s Diego Medina reporting that Monterrey president Duilio Davina visited the Sounders to discuss the possible move. Janssen has not lived up to expectations since moving to Monterrey for $9.9 million in June 2019. Janssen has scored 22 goals over 75 appearances, but seven of them came in a single Copa MX campaign.
