This week, Sporting Kansas City signed Stuttgart midfielder Erik Thommy to a contract runs through 2024 with an option for 2025. Thommy brings added skill and starter quality at the attacking midfield and winger positions. Even more so, Thommy brings much needed depth to a Sporting Kansas City offense that has been decimated with injuries including losing its two Designated Players for the season (Alan Pulido and Gadi Kinda), frequent nagging injuries across the forward and midfield (Khiry Shelton, Johnny Russell, Remi Walter) and of course, international duty (Marinos Tzionis and Daniel Salloi). It’s safe to say that injuries to the core of the team have tested depth of Sporting KC and adding Thommy certainly does help the squad.
