Sporting Kansas City has signed 20-year-old winger Latif Blessing from Liberty Professionals FC in Ghana, the MLS side announced Monday.
The deal is a transfer, though financial details were not disclosed by Sporting KC. Blessing’s contract with Sporting KC is through 2019 and contains a club option for 2020.
“We have scouted Latif and been very impressed with what we’ve seen from him,” Sporting KC head coach Peter Vermes said in a press release. “The great thing we love about him is that he is young, but with a lot of upside as evidence by his goal scoring record with his previous club.
