Sporting Kansas City made two big transactions on Tuesday with a signing of a young talent and a trade involving Amadou Dia.

Emmanuel Appiah was the player singed by Sporting Kansas City on Tuesday afternoon. The 22-year-old was originally selected by the Colorado Rapids as the 15th overall pick in the SuperDraft. However, the club waived him on June 30th. He had been on loan in the USL playing for the Charlotte Independence.

Appiah was born in Ghana, but grew up in Ohio. He played his collegiate soccer at the University of Cincinnati. During his time at the university he amassed seven goals and 13 assists. Last season his was named to the All-Ohio and All-American Athletic Conference second teams of the year.

Here’s the first ever college goal he scored. It’s an absolute beauty.

Porter was a 2015 draft pick and played in five matches total for the club last season. More recently he has been playing for FC Montreal of the USL. He is expected to join the roster pending his International Transfer Certificate.

Dia will be departing the club after playing a total of 37 matches for the club. He was Kansas City’s first round pick in the 2015 SuperDraft.

Above is one of Porter’s best moments for Montreal when he scored this pivotal goal in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal.
