2018 Sporting KC Positional Previews: Forwards

We’ve made it! The end of our positional previews for the 2018 MLS season. Before you can hear about the forwards, let’s work our way through the rest of the roster.

Sporting Kansas City have somewhere between seven and 10 forwards, depending on how you slice it. We’ll break it down by likely starters, back-ups and those likely to be with the Swope Park Rangers.

Johnny Russell - LW

It’s not 100% clear which wing Johnny Russell will start on, but make no mistake, he’s been brought here to start. He’s been prominently featured with Derby County in the English Championship since 2013 and over that time he’s scored 31 goals and added 23 assists.
