The Earthquakes might be on the verge of reshaping their attacking front.
Talks to bring Swedish striker Magnus Eriksson to San Jose appear to have become serious, according to the newspaper Expressen.
The Swedish publication reported Eriksson’s Stockholm club received a request from a Major League Soccer team just as the Quakes left Costa Rican international Marco Urena off the protected list for the expansion draft that takes place Tuesday.
Djurgarden IF sports manager Bosse Andersson confirmed the request but declined to identify the team. Expressen previously reported it was the Earthquakes, who have hired Mikael Stahre of Sweden as the new coach.
