Things are getting awfully crowded and interesting in the Sounders’ midfield, with the team confirming Monday it will soon add Spanish veteran Victor Rodriguez to the mix for targetted allocation money.
The deal is to be officially announced Tuesday once related paperwork gets finalized, but Rodriguez, 28, a nine-year Spanish veteran with teams in that country’s first and second La Ligua divisions, was out training with the Sounders in Tukwila on Monday. Rodriguez, is a natural winger on either side, but has most recently played on the right for second-division squad Sporting Gijon.
The Sounders will look to use him primarily at a left wing spot that’s been a revolving door of sorts.
