Gustav Svensson provides Sounders with depth and experience

Swedish midfielder Gustav Svensson joined the Seattle Sounders after they had already left for training camp in Tucson, so he didn’t get much of a chance to train in Seattle and see the city before jumping into the team’s preseason. But that didn’t matter to Svensson, who had been wanting to play in Major League Soccer for a long time. “I’ve always wanted to play in MLS, both because I like the league and I like how it is, but I like the country as well. I’m 30 years old, but I want to learn both as a soccer player and as a person.
