Swiss forward Embolo joins Atlanta United
Swiss international striker Breel Embolo signs with the Major League Soccer club from Rennes in a US$18 million deal.
Swiss forward Breel Embolo has joined MLS club Atlanta United in a reported US$18 million deal, signing from French Ligue 1 side Rennes. The Cameroon-born player, who starred for Switzerland at this summer's World Cup, will be with Atlanta until 2030. Embolo started every match and scored twice as Switzerland reached the quarter-finals, but was sent off in their loss to eventual finalists Argentina for simulation.
Atlanta United, currently bottom of the Eastern Conference, sees Embolo's goal-scoring, playmaking ability and work rate as assets to strengthen their attack. His signing follows a previous expensive transfer, US$22 million paid for Emmanuel Latte Lath, who struggled with goal-scoring last season and has since been loaned to Union Berlin.
