Fede Bessone: Full of Joy at MLS switch

The Argentine left-back was without a club after being released by Oldham Athletic at the end of last season.

The much-travelled 29-year-old, who began his career in Spain and spent four years as a youth player at Barcelona, is relishing the challenge with his new club, who are riding high in the Eastern Conference.

Bessone said: "I was in talks with a number of Championship clubs, everyone seemed to be looking for a left-back.

"Then my agent (Jamie Holsgrove) told me about Sporting KC, one of the best clubs in MLS.

"I felt it was the perfect moment to experience a new challenge.

"It's a fantastic group of players and the manager Peter Vermes has spent time in Spain so straight away they made me feel at home."
