News Lech Poznan Winger Muhamed Keita “Visiting” With Minnesota United by Wes Burdine on 26 January 2017

Minnesota United has been on an Arthurian quest to sign every possible Scandinavian and it seems they may not have yet completed their mission. FiftyFive.One can confirm that Lech Poznan winger, Muhamed Keita, is “visiting” with the Loons as they train in Arizona.

Keita was first spotted by the Star Tribune’s Meg Ryan, who is covering the team from Arizona:

Keita’s agent confirmed to FiftyFive.One that the Gambian-Norwegian was not just taking in the sun and watching drills. Rather, Keita is “visiting” with the club as the winger�weighs�”a number of options” available to him.

Keita just finished a stint on loan in the Norwegian Tippeligaen, which is presumably where Manny Lagos and Minnesota United crossed paths with�him. A right-footed player, Keita was most recently used by B�rum-based Stabaek as an inverted winger on the left flank.

Keita’s signing still may be unlikely. The Loons are close to signing a similar player in Bashkim Kadrii, who has also played as an inverted left winger. In addition, they are�already over their limit for international players (though at least one green card seems on the way).
