The San Jose Earthquakes added a major new weapon to their attack on Wednesday, announcing the signing of Swedish striker Magnus Eriksson as a Designated Player, pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and international transfer certificate.
Eriksson, 27, arrives from Djurgardens IF, where he was the co-leading scorer in Sweden’s Allsvenskan in 2017 with 14 goals. His résumé also features distinguished stints at Eskilstuna, Åtvidaberg and Malmo – where he was instrumental in league championship runs in 2013 and 2014 – in his native country as well as KAA Gent in Belgium, Denmark’s Bröndby IF and Chinese side Beijing Renhe.
