The MLS secondary transfer window officially opened two weeks ago (and closes August 8th), but Sporting Kansas City fans will be forgiven if they haven’t noticed. No moves have yet been made, despite the team having ample cap space and at least one free international roster slot. The Designated Player #9 signing promised last year has already begun to drift into the domain of urban legends, yet with Khiry Shelton out for two months or more Sporting’s striker needs have only increased.
With that in mind, it is worth taking a closer look at those who could fill the hole in Kansas City’s roster.
