The New York Red Bulls officially completed the transfer of Austrian winger Daniel Royer, the club announced through a press release on Wednesday.

"Soccer wise, from wide spots he can be very dangerous," Red Bulls coach Jesse Marsch told reporters after Tuesday's training session. "He can be dangerous, he can be active, he can be mobile, he's clever. He's played against Salzburg, so he knows a little bit of the Red Bulls' style of play."

Royer tallied two goals in 23 Danish Superliga appearances with FC Midtjylland in the 2015-16 season, and has also appeared in 13 UEFA Champions League matches. The 26-year-old winger has played in six games for the Austrian national team since 2011.

"I had dinner with Daniel [Royer] last night," Marsch said after Tuesday's practice. "You can tell that he's a really smart player, really smart guy, has a good mentality, is excited about this challenge. He asked a lot of really educated questions last night about our team, our players, about our style."

"On that level, I think [Royer]'s way to fit into this team will be seamless," Marsch added.

Marsch said he expects Royer to help the team right away, but he didn't say that Royer would start from day one. When talking about a potential move last week, Marsch said whoever comes in would have to "earn the right to put Alex Muyl on the bench."

The addition of Royer is not a good sign for Red Bulls forward Gonzalo Veron. Veron, who played 35 minutes against the Chicago Fire on Sunday, continues to be pushed down the depth chart and hasn't shown enough that he is worthy of more opportunities this season.

The Red Bulls experimented moving from a 4-2-3-1 formation to a 4-2-2-2 in the second half of Sunday's match, with Veron operating as the second striker.

Veron didn't show much and, with the Red Bulls reportedly receiving Israeli striker Omer Damari on loan from RB Leipzig of the Bundesliga, it looks like Veron's time is running out this season.

Regardless, the addition of Royer should open up the Red Bulls' attack and give them a more dynamic player on the wing. The infusion of Royer's creativity and cleverness will make the Red Bulls' offense less predictable.

The Red Bulls' next MLS match is on the road against the L.A. Galaxy on Aug. 7.
