Soccer Goals: Yes, you heard that right: Oguchi Onyewu heads to AC Milan on a free transfer. After rumors and speculation persisted that Real Madrid became interested in the US defender, AC Milan inked Oguchi Onyyewu to a three year deal.
Demonstrating a porous defense and falling to fourth place in Serie A, AC Milan has solidified the defense with the additions of Silva and now Onyewu. Prone to injuries, Alessandro Nesta and Kakha Kaladze will slot in as the other center back candidates. This demonstrates that Onyewu should receive playing time considering that those two veterans have struggled with injuries.
After securing Onyewu's services on a free transfer, AC Milan has stated interest in acquiring a top level forward, such as Real forward Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Sevilla's Luis Fabiano, Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor and VfL Wolfsburg's Edin Dzeko.
This signing could prove valuable for Gooch and other US internationals who desire to play at super clubs and at the highest level. If the US center back can perform and exceed expectations, then other clubs should begin to consider other US internationals as the status and respect for US soccer will increase.
