It was the hallmark signing of yet another very short Sounders off-season; one in which the team’s fans had grown antsy over the lack of any significant player signings.
Norwegian midfielder Magnus Wolff Eikrem was supposed to change some of that, coming over in late January from the powerhouse Molde squad in Sweden to bolster a Sounders team outclassed by Toronto FC in the MLS Cup final. Instead, the struggling Sounders on Friday waived Wolff Eikrem after he’d started only a half-dozen matches, notching a lone goal and one assist for the lowest-scoring attack in Major League Soccer.
