LAFC has signed Brazilian forward Thayllon Roberth on loan from Avaí FC until June 2027, with a potential purchase option included in the deal. The 20-year-old joined the team for the U22 Initiative and international roster spots. Roberth boasts impressive stats, with 12 goals and 11 assists in 71 appearances across all competitions for Avaí since making his debut in April 2025.
LAFC president of soccer operations John Thorrington hailed Roberth as a creative force who brings quality and excitement to the team's attack. The club is thrilled that Roberth chose LAFC despite stiff competition for his signature, and they are eager to support his development as he helps the team contend for trophies. This marks LAFC's fourth international signing this summer, joining Finnish midfielder Leo Walta, German forward Armindo Sieb, and Ecuadorian midfielder Sergio Vásquez.
The team is currently third in the Western Conference with 36 points after their inaugural season under head coach Marc Dos Santos.
