Philadelphia Union's goal this offseason has been to get more aggressive, adding players that can create attacking chances through their defensive work and will to win. The club's latest signing fits that bill.
Jamiro Monteiro arrives from Ligue 1's Metz, which he joined after spending the 2017-18 season with Heracles of the Eredivisie. The Dutch-born Cape Verdean international is 25-years old and a dynamic two-way midfielder with the ability to dominate a midfield from numerous positions. With Monteiro on board, Philly now has a broad range of options for how they can roll out a midfield.
