Erik Thommy - Linking with Sporting KC soon Thommy (not injury related) arrived in Kansas City on Tuesday after acquiring his visa, Daniel Sperry of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Thommy is set to begin training with his new team this week, but he is unlikely to feature in the squad just yet until he is able to get up to speed. Once ready, he figures to become an immediate option for Sporting, likely featuring on the wing. He struggled for appearances the last two seasons with Stuttgart, but he made 34 appearances for Fortuna Dusseldorf in 2019/20, so the quality is there for him to be relevant in MLS.
