FC Dallas fans who say they're familiar with the recently signed winger Edwin Gyasi must have followed the Ghana national team's 2018 World Cup qualification campaign, be die-hard supporters of Bulgarian soccer or are lying.
While it seems he came from off the radar, the 28-year-old's arrival on loan in Frisco has been months in the making -- a window into the transfer process in a sport where player movement is far more complex than even the compelling soap opera developing in front of NBA fans' eyes over the past two weeks.
What matters on the field is Gyasi could make his FCD debut against Minnesota United on Saturday when the club travels north to face the Loons.
