A versatile midfielder who’s long been a target of Nelson Rodríguez and Veljko Paunovic has arrived in the Windy City.
Khaly Thiam, a 22-year-old native of Senegal, was officially announced as the newest member of the Men In Red Wednesday morning, one day after meeting his new teammates and getting his first look at the park he now calls home. Thiam was acquired on loan after the Fire obtained his Discovery Priority from Columbus Crew SC in exchange for a conditional second round SuperDraft pick.
With the team off from training Wednesday, Thiam is expected to participate in his first session Thursday at Toyota Park.
