D.C. United announced today that the team has acquired forward Maicon Santos.
The 27-year old Brazilian most recently played with FC Dallas, after originally joining MLS in 2009 as a member of Chivas USA. Santos is with the team in D.C. and will participate in Wednesday's training session.
“We’re very pleased to have Maicon as a part of D.C. United,” said general manager Dave Kasper. “He is a big, solid target forward that will fit well into our system of play and complement the group of players already on our roster.”
Santos began last season with Toronto, tallying six goals and an assist in 19 matches. He was traded to FC Dallas in August. In Dallas, he played in 11 matches (nine starts) for the Hoops, notching two goals and an assist.
