Sounders tenuously linked to German winger

Despite losing both starting wingers from MLS Cup, the Seattle Sounders haven’t seemed particularly active in terms of seeking replacements. Aside from signing Kelyn Rowe — who got most of his playing time as a central midfielder last year — the Sounders haven’t been so much as linked to any new players.

In that sense — and maybe only that sense — it’s notable that they were mentioned as one of the potential suitors for Kai Pröger, a German attacking player who’s currently out of favor at 2. Bundesliga side SC Paderborn. The rumor comes from German newspaper Westfalen-Blatt and lists the Sounders alongside Real Salt Lake and the Vancouver Whitecaps and teams interested in acquiring the 28-year-old.
