The LA Galaxy announced today that the club has acquired Brazilian forward Samuel on loan from Fluminense of Brazil’s Serie A. The 22-year-old joins the Galaxy after spending the past two seasons with Fluminense, tallying 15 goals in 72 appearances across all competitions for the Rio de Janeiro-based side, including one in his last game for the club early last month. Samuel will be added to the Galaxy roster pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P1 Visa. Per club and league policy terms of the loan agreement were not disclosed.
“We are pleased to add Samuel to our roster,” said LA Galaxy Head Coach and General Manager Bruce Arena. “Samuel is a young, talented forward with both size and skill. We are confident his addition will help boost our attack in 2014.”
