Atlanta United: Dion Pereira a future MLS star?
The signing of Dion Pereira may have flown under the radar as Atlanta United looked to the future with this signing. But could he be a future MLS star?
After claiming the 2018 Major League Soccer title, Atlanta United have not slowed down in the headlines in the offseason. On Tuesday, the club made another key signing by acquiring 19-year-old midfielder Dion Pereira of Watford.
This move claim just days before the re-signing of star striker Josef Martinez, which made for a perfect week for Atlanta supporters.
Pereira comes to the MLS after playing primarily for Watford’s U-23 side. He has only made two career appearances for Watford’s senior team in 2017 which came in the Premier League.
