It looks like Adu is coming to this blog's official soccer team, SL Benfica. If nothing else, he'll sell jerseys. Benfica were able to sign him for the paltry amount of 2 million Euros ($2.7 million). Considering his age and his potential, this is an incredible deal.
The first time I saw him play was in the U-20 World Cup and he looked phenomenal. Apparently, he hasn't done much in the MLS, but I think he'll fit in well at Benfica playing on the wings (where the team is a little thin since selling Simao). I'm really excited about the team this year, not because of Adu, but because of another signing: a Paraguayan center forward named Cordozo. We'll have to wait and see how they do.Some clips of the new signing:
