Yesterday afternoon Eric broke the news that Mikey Lopez was headed out of town. Now, NYCFC has officially announced that they have picked up Mikey Lopez off waivers for an undisclosed amount. In what was a not too surprising move for Sporting KC it looks as though NYCFC have added themselves a decent young player.
Mikey Lopez came to Sporting KC in 2013 as the 14th overall pick in the MLS Superdraft at age 19. Lopez was a standout player in college earning freshman of the year honors and helping North Carolina win the 2011 National Championship.
