CASA GRANDE, Ariz. – The New England Revolution’s “mystery” signing is a mystery no more.
It’s been two weeks since Revolution president Brian Bilello teased the move on Twitter, but on Monday morning fans were finally given a name as the club announced the acquisition of Xavier Kouassi.
The deal with Kouassi is a pre-contract, as the 26-year-old midfielder is currently captain of FC Sion and has a contract with the Swiss club that runs through June 30. At the conclusion of that contract, Kouassi will be eligible to join the Revs pending receipt of his P1-visa and International Transfer Certificate.
