Atlanta United have signed Emmanuel Latte Lath from Middlesbrough for $22 million plus add-ons, which is an MLS record transfer fee. The previous record was set by FC Cincinnati when they acquired Kevin Donkey for $16.2 million.
\"We\'re excited to sign Latte Lath and look forward to welcoming him to the club and the city of Atlanta,\" sporting director Chris Henderson said.
\"He\'s a forward with excellent pace and good goal-scoring instincts. His ability to stretch the field will add another dimension to our attack.
\"At 26 years old, he\'s entering the prime years of his career and has already shown his goal-scoring ability in multiple leagues in Europe.\"
