Sources: Amobi Okugo on his way to Kansas City

Sporting KC are set to move defensive midfielder Servando Carrasco to Orlando City in exchange for the versatile Amobi Okugo, sources say.

Many sources are reporting that Sporting Kansas City are finalizing a trade that would bring in Amobi Okugo in exchange for Servando Carassco and other considerations.

KC lost center-back Ike Opara early in the season and while Kevin Ellis has filled in admirably, defensive reinforcements are needed. Okugo, only 24 years old, started the first 9 games for Orlando City before falling out of the starting lineup.
