Quotes: Gedion Zelalem introduced in press conference at Children's Mercy Park

Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes

On acquiring Gedion Zelalem…

The majority of the credit goes to Brian Bliss. Brian, being a part of the (United States Under) 20’s, knows Gedion really well. He saw this opportunity and really put a lot of work into and fleshed it out with Arsenal. He was able to talk with Gedion through their relationship and, at the same time, work on the club itself. The credit goes to Brian to be able to get it done and obviously, to Gedion for being able to accept to be here.
