FC Montreal announced on Thursday the signing of eight new players, all of them coming from the Impact Academy.
Defenders Simon Lemire, Abdoulaye Samaké, Aron Mkungilwa and Nevello Yoseke; midfielders Heikel Jarras, Samuel Duffek and Léonardo Kossaka; as well as forward Alexandar Kulic are now part of the team with USL Academy contracts.
These players were part of the Impact U18 team that reached the USSDA semifinals two years in a row.
4 of them are are Canadian born, no information on the status of the others.
Saw the news while searching for Ottawa native Alexandar Kulic in particular. I read on another forum that he got a tryout for a club in Italy at 17, but since he didn't have citizenship he needed to wait a year, so it fell through.
