Reports: Chivas goalkeeper set to join Atlanta United

It appears that Atlanta United have found themselves a new goalkeeper. According to multiple reports out of Mexico, the Five Stripes are on the verge of signing Chivas de Guadalajara shot-stopper Raul Gudino on a free transfer.

Gudino, 26, will reportedly join Atlanta when the MLS secondary transfer window opens on July 7.

It’s no secret that goalkeeper has been a big worry for Gonzalo Pineda’s side since long-time starter Brad Guzan went down with a torn Achilles tendon and was sidelined for a considerable amount of time. Backup Bobby Shuttleworth has filled in with mixed results, while Rocco Rios Novo was brought in on loan as an insurance policy.
