Columbus Crew SC isn’t done making moves in the initial transfer window of the 2019 season. Despite the window closing at 11:59 p.m CT on Tuesday, the Black & Gold announced a trade — which was filed before the deadline — with the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday morning. The Crew sent $100,000 in Targeted Allocation Money, $400,000 in General Allocation Money and an International Roster Spot for the 2019 Major League Soccer season to the Union in exchange for midfielder David Accam.
“We want to welcome David Accam to Columbus Crew SC as David is a fast, dynamic player and a proven attacking threat in MLS,” Crew President Tim Bezbatchenko said in the press release.
